I’m No Kin to the Monkey – Lyrics and mp3

More than 30 years ago, Robin and Crystal Bernard (yep, the lady from Wings) sang on a record called Dr. Jerry Falwell: Feudin' Fussin' & Frettin' (Fret Not). One song on that record sticks out. It's a horribly catchy anti-evolution song. Grab some headphones and take a listen. Freaky shit.

But who's to say whether we're really here because of evolution. I mean, on the one hand we have mountains of evidence and centuries of scientific research... But on the other hand, the guy wearing a robe on Sundays said I should believe a black book written thousands of years ago.

Listen to the mp3.

And here are the lyrics:

I'm no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey's no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don't know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn't swing from a tree.

It seems so unbelievable,
And yet they say that it's true,
They're teaching us about it in school now,
That humans were monkeys once too.

Oooo I'm no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey's no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don't know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn't swing from a tree.

Although it's so ridiculous,
They're teaching us now that it's true,
The teachers that came from a monkey,
Would be better off in a zoo.

Oooo I'm no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey's no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don't know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn't swing from a tree.

It seems so much more believable,
And surely, surely it's true,
That God made Man in His image,
No monkey story will do.

Oooo I'm no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey's no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don't know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn't swing from a tree,

This monkey business has to go,
Because it just isn't true,
It's such a disgrace to the monkey,
A disgrace to the human race too.

Oooo I'm no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey's no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don't know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn't swing from a tree,
Mine didn't swing from a tree,
Mine didn't swing from a tree.
