Dance, little monkey, dance
to the tune of your master
and when you’re done for now
make sure to return
to your little cage
Draw no attention
make no sound at all
and know that you’ll never be free
Some hand will always hold the rope
tied tight around your neck
but worry not about it
as long as you have purpose
you have naught to fear
Just don’t outlive your usefulness
keep moving on command
and when all is said and done
face the end with poise and grace
There’s nothing you can do
