Curse of Monkey Island

“Aye lads… listen well… Ye drink from that bottle on that isle… ye don’t come back the same…” There once was a rogue with a thirst like the tide, He crashed on an isle where the jungle’s wide. He followed the beat of drums and hoots, Found monkeys wearin’ pirate boots! Oooh ooh AH! (– What was that?!) Yo ho HA! (– A monkey, lad!) Swingin’ low in a rum-soaked tree— Wait a tick... that one looked like ME! Bop bop! Flip flop! Clink clank CLAW! Don’t drink the juice from the coconut straw! The monkey crew danced, all wobbly and wild, One wore a sash, another a smile. The pirate he laughed, said “I’ll fit right in!” They gave him a goblet... and said, “Let’s begin.” Ooo eee AH! (– What he drank?!) Boom boom BA! (– Cursed monkey swank!) One sip down, he scratched his nose— Then his pants just up an’ GOES! Flip zip! Tail whip! Blink blink BLUR! Now he swings like a proper buccaneer! He tried to speak, but it came out “Ook!” He tried to run, but the trees all shook. His boots fell off, his hat turned green, He was the newest monkey on the scene. They say at night ye still can hear, The clink of mugs... and monkey cheer. So if ye crash, and find a bar... Run from the rum in a coconut jar. AH-HA-HA! (– He’s gone, me mate!) Swing-swing-BAH! (– Too late, too late!) Climb that tree or crawl that sand— Ye’ll end up with banana in hand! Hic-hic! Split quick! Tail’s grown TALL! One more sip... and ye’ll lose it all! “So if ye see a monkey winkin’ with a pegleg... …don’t clink mugs with ‘im, lad... …‘less ye fancy joinin’ the monkey band!”
