lyrics

Pull the Ladder Up

Well are you jealous?
Or are you crazy?
You say I’m zealous
I say you’re lazy

All I can tell you, its all I can see,
Cause I’m living at the top of my monkey tree

The view is lovely,
Wish you could be here,
Everywhere I see,
Seems just a little queer,

All I can tell you, its all I can see,
Cause I’m living at the top of my monkey tree
All of the people, they pour into my cup,
But I’m on board, so pull the ladder up

It doesn’t seem right, I’m at the top of the hill,
I’m scared of heights, looking down is such a thrill

All I can tell you, its all I can see,
Cause I’m living at the top of my monkey tree
All of the people, they pour into my cup,
But I’m on board, so pull the ladder up

Well I am the king now,
Top dog and big cheese,
I’ll never kowtow,
Or live on my knees

So don’t be jealous
and don’t be crazy,
Let’s put the onus,
On being lazy

All I can tell you, its all I can see,
Cause I’m living at the top of my monkey tree
All of the people, they pour into my cup,
But I’m on board, so pull the ladder up

about

The Hoovers Petaluma, California

It was love at first sight and now after too many years to mention they find themselves thousands of miles from their homeland, still writing and performing songs with the same enthusiasm and energy as ever. Unique observers of everyday life and emotions with an irreverent nod to authority. ... more
