One Monkey Don't Start No Show The people back home don't treat their loved ones like they do when you're off away. No, they treat them all right. I want to tell you something else my friend had to say. If you listen real close, I'll tell you this is the way it went right now. Listen here now. Here we go! Things don't happen that way all the time. He said when you feel so low and you know your baby been doing you so much wrong and you've been gone for a long, long time away what you do is you get up in the morning and you're ready for your first cup of coffee and you sit yourself down and a little voice comes to you from behind the coffee pot and the little voice says, uh... Get up! Get up! Yes, and you're driving down the road in your car you're driving down the road and another voice comes to you from nowhere and it says, uh... the little voice says, get up! Get up and find yourself somebody else to love now. Yes, and you're working hard on the job you're working so hard and a voice comes to you from nowhere and it says get up and find somebody else to love now. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell you one more thing. This is what my friend had to say at the end of his letter. I want to tell you the moral of this whole story now. Listen now, children.
