Coconut Monkey
A song sung (TTTO "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles)

inspired by the real life coconut monkey hunting technique used by other dedicated (though less globalized) brain eaters

in honor of Larry Sanger and all wikiholics who just can't give it up

Lyrics

 * (intro riff)
 * It was long dark nights
 * fighting point of view
 * and I really thought
 * I was getting through
 * I was getting through


 * And I didn't mean
 * to become a troll
 * but sadly, folks, it's
 * the fate of all


 * I tried not to be a
 * coconut monkey...
 * coconut monkey!


 * When the monkey sticks
 * his whole arm inside,
 * he doesn't know
 * it's a trap, a lie


 * When the trolls return
 * just to eat his brain,
 * he runs away if
 * he's not insane


 * I shouldn't be a
 * coconut monkey...
 * coconut monkey!


 * (long guitar solo)


 * I could have worked
 * at Britannica
 * or at Microsoft
 * for the good of all


 * But no I had to
 * work with Wales and
 * now, I'm a troll
 * pulling rank somehow.


 * I'm just a troll
 * who got funky...a
 * coconut monkey!


 * My brain got ate
 * somewhere 'long the way,
 * now like Quake I think,
 * I've gone the zombie way


 * You can throw away
 * your best points on me
 * and I'll throw them back
 * with some bits of me


 * We're all stuck here
 * with our hands inside,
 * and most days I think,
 * I'd have rather died


 * I have become a
 * wiki-troll zombie...
 * coconut monkey!


 * (extra long guitar solo)


 * So to monkeys all
 * with their hands inside
 * I got this to say
 * then I'll drop my nut:


 * Everyone who clicks
 * on "save this page"
 * is a troll and stays
 * one to his dying day


 * That and yes a...
 * coconut monkey...
 * wiki gets funky!
