Some kind of forest,

And he took his woman

To the top of the towering temple
And climbed up and looked around
Some kind of city
He loved his woman
You could see it in his eyes
His great big eyes
From the moment he saw her
He was all choked up inside
But when the airplanes came
He was soon to die
But he hung on long enough
To set his woman down
And make sure she was safe
And as the bullets pierced
He looked at her so sincere
Before he fell
Because he loved his woman
They shot him down, they shot him down
They thought he was a monster,
but he was the king
Who killed the monkey,
who killed the monkey?
T 'was beauty that killed the beast
