Lyrics of "Magic Monkey" CD by Godiego

1. (a) The Birth of the Odyssey (INSTRUMENTAL)

1. (b) Monkey Magic

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun

Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)

What a cocky saucy monkey this one is
All the Gods were angered
And they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start
Of their pilgrimage west

Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)

With a little bit of monkey magic
There'll be fireworks tonight
With a little bit of monkey magic
Every thing will be all right

Born from an egg on a mountain top
The punkiest monkey that ever popped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
To tease the Gods
And everyone and have some fun

Monkey magic, Monkey magic (repeat 4 times)


2. Gandhara

A long time ago when men were all babes
There was a land of the free
Fantasy and dreams
Were its untouched wealth
And goodness and love were real

Each man desires to reach Gandhara
His very own utopia
In the striving, in the seeking soul
Man can see Gandhara

In Gandhara, Gandhara
They say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara
The place of light Gandhara

Though long ago and far
Beyond the winding road
Always beyond every bend
A beautiful land still waits for the few
Who make it to the very end

Each man desires to reach Gandhara
His very own utopia
In the striving, in the seeking soul
Man can see Gandhara

(*) In Gandhara, Gandhara
They say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara
The place of light Gandhara

* repeat


3. Asiatic Fever

Asiatic fever
Asiatic fever
Got the fever
The Asiatic fever

Somebody help me
I got it bad
It's driving me crazy
I'm going mad

I'm turning yellow
My hair's turning black
I'm talking funny
But it's a real snap

(*) It's the Asiatic fever
Burnin burnin through
It's the Asiatic fever
What can I do
It's the Asiatic fever
Burnin burnin through
It's the Asiatic fever
What can I do
I get a good feeling
When my blood start boiling
And when I go crazy I go crazy
Keep wanting more and more
And more and more

It's the Asiatic fever
Burnin burnin through

It's a lot worse
That the Asiatic flu
Can't do a thing about it
Tell me what can I do

Burning yes I'm burning
With the Asiatic fever
But I guess I like it
This Asiatic fever

* repeat

5. Thank You, Baby

Till I find my place in the home of the sun
I'll just keep movin on
My spirit won't let me rest till then
It's a lonely longing

There's miles to go and as many years
And I can only rest awhile
But you gave me comfort and consolation
And a lasting smile

I got memories
Oh thank you, baby
I still love you
Oh thank you, baby
You made my life
Now the way ahead is clear

Till I find my place in the home of the sun
I'll just keep moving on
My spirit won't let me rest till then
It's a lonely longing
My spirit won't let me rest till then
It's a lonely longing


6. Steppin' Into Your World

Where is that melody coming from
From the depth of the mountain or from a cloud
I can hear the sweet strains of fantasy
So vividly rich and free

Let me into that mythical magic world
Let me laugh and thrill and be a part of you
And no longer will it be of distant China
I'll be travelling with you
Oooh! West to India

Stepping into your world
I'm stepping right along with you
Stepping into your kind of beat
Oh your music's sweet Songoku

I'll be travelling with you
Oooh! West to India

Where is that melody coming from
From the depth of the mountain
Or from a cloud
I can hear the sweet strains of fantasy
So vividly rich and free

Let me into that mythical magic world
Let me laugh and thrill and be a part of you
And no longer will it be of distant China
I'll be travelling with you
Oooh! West to India

Stepping into your world
I'm stepping right along with you
Stepping into your kind of beat
Oh your music's sweet Songoku

Oooh! West to India (repeat until fade out)


7. Havoc In Heaven

Havoc in Heaven!

Thundering clouds blazing light
Fiery blows shooting left and right
Screams and shouts are echoing
All of Heaven has started shaking

(*) Havoc in Heaven!
Havoc in Heaven (8 times)
Havoc in Heaven!
Havoc in Heaven (8 times)
Havoc in Heaven!

Cosmic forces going wild
Pandemonium quite in style
Down on earth they're wondering
Just what in Heaven is happening

* repeat
Havoc in Heaven!

Thundering clouds blazing light
Fiery blows shooting left and right
Screams and shouts are echoing
All of heaven has started shaking

* repeat
Havoc in Heaven


8. Dragons and Demons

(*) What lies in front of me, I don't know
What's waiting in hiding, don't wanna know
Ready to eat me and finish me off
I shudder to think of their eyes that glow

(**) I'm not a chicken, oh no not me
I'm thinking of what's going to happen to me
Should I stay or should I not
But I don't wanna hear
What the answer will be

(***) But in a trick or two, and my super magic
It'll be easy to change them quick
To fight is right, but I'll seem like the devil
Cause that's the best one of all my tricks

(****) Dragons and Demons
And all kinds of monsters (4 times)

Dragons and Demons
And all kinds of monsters (twice)

My heart is beating
Faster and faster
It's a lovely thought
To find them out
But it's the one thing
I can do without

* repeat
** repeat
*** repeat
**** repeat

Dragons and Demons
And all kinds of monster


9. A Fool!

A fool, I'm a fool
Fallin' in love like this
I shouldn't let myself
Run away with a dream like this

It started as a harmless game
But I was playin' with fire
And now so hopelessly
I can't stop my desire

(*) A fool, I'm a fool
Cause I'm in love with you
How could there be a chance
To make this love come through
A fool yes you are
I know that you are

I hope that you weren't
A fool like you are
Oh boy aren't you dumb
A fool that you are
A fool
I'm a fool

I gotta go through that pain
Of always wantin' you near
And wishin' you'd give me one look
That knows my heart and hears

* repeat

A fool, I'm a fool
Fallin' in love like this
I shouldn'a let myself
Run away with a dream like this

It started as a harmless game
But I was playin' with fire
And now so hopelessly
I can't stop my desire

A fool, I'm a fool
Fallin' in love like this
I shouldn'a let myself
Run away with a dream like this


10. Flying

Flying on my cloud to freedom
Flying till I've left the world behind
The world is getting smaller down below
I like the view the further up I go,
Up on my cloud

(*) Takin' it easy
I'm only out for a little fun
Takin' it easy
I need a holiday like everyone

Flying on my silvery cloud
Far above the green and blue
There's a lot of trouble and I see down below
But I think I'll stay for a little while more,
Up on my cloud

* repeat three times


11. Celebration

CELEBRATION, CELEBRATION
CELEBRATION, CELEBRATION

There is magic
All around us dreams and fantasy
The world of long ago
Though far away it may be
We're living and loving
This world we're in
We're singing and swinging down
That golden road

Our laughter echoing to the Himalayas
In the dawn of time
It will be forever told woh-oh-oh-oh-

We're celebrating, celebrating
The birth of the Odyssey
Of things so grand and free
We're celebrating, celebrating
The birth of the Odyssey
Of things so grand and free

CELEBRATION, CELEBRATION
