lyrics

When you’re old and wise like me, little girl
Then perhaps you will see
That the monkey climbs up through the calabash
to the top of the tree

Fetch me my viewing glass
I believe that just through the jungle there
Is where the world ends

When you’re grey and bent like me buddy boy
Then most likely you’ll see
Though the reptile suns on the river bank
He is not really free

Hand me my spectacles
We must note all that happened here
Just before the world ends
