MR CHIMPANZEE © John Birch 2004.

Sometimes, when it seems as if the whole world is on my shoulders,

I go outside at night, I look up at the rest of the universe, and I realize,

just how small, all of my worries, really are…

Do the birds in the trees worry about rupees?

Does a fish in the sea study calories?

Do the long necked giraffes, laugh…

When Mr. Chimpanzee says he's gotta, gotta, gotta watch TV?

Mr. Chimpanzee he turned off the TV

He hasn't got a worry he isn't in a hurry

Mr. Chimpanzee no longer believes

In ‘catastrophes’

One day the president of the United States

He walked outside and he shut the gate

It seemed as if he’d had enough

Ono!, Ono!, Ono!

But then from somewhere left of center

There came something that he’d always remember

The difference between a big problem and a small problem

is just an attitude And so there ends the feud

Do the birds in the trees worry about rupees?

Does a fish in the sea study calories?

Do the long necked giraffes, laugh…

When Mr. Chimpanzee says he's gotta, gotta, gotta watch TV?

Mr. Chimpanzee he turned off the TV

He hasn't got a worry he isn't in a hurry

Mr. Chimpanzee no longer believes

In ‘catastrophes’

"Oh Mr. Chimpanzee!"

You know …

Sometimes, when it seems as if the whole world is on my shoulders,

I go outside at night, I look up at the rest of the universe, and I realize,

just how small, all of my worries, really are… Hmm?

‘FISH & CHIPS’ (The Millennium Bug) (C)J.Birch 2001.

I bought a computer just so I could zoot her

But the damn thing broke down so I drove out of town

I put on my hat and said ... "drat, I'm gettin fat

C But WILL IT REALLY MATTER

WILL IT REALLY MATTER

WILL IT REALLY MATTER in one more year ?"

I talked to a copper who said it weren't proper

To swear and to curse and to ride in this hurse

He put on his hat and said ... "drat, I'm gettin fat

Chorus ........................................

I know I've been hurt I know I’ve had tears

But what do I think I am as big as the president's ears ?

I bought my computer just so I could zoot her

So why should I frown if the damn things brake down ?

Why not put on my hat and say ... "drat, I'm gettin fat

Chorus (x1) ...................................

Oh WILL IT REALLY MATTER

If you’re gettin fatter?

‘Fish and chips in batter!’

WILL IT REALLY MATTER in one more year ?"
