VERSE
Monkberry Moon Delight
Paul McCartney
So I sat in the attic,
A piano up my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...).
Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...).
Ketchup (ketchup)
Soup and puree (Soup and puree),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
When a rattle of rats had awoken,
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain.
So I stood with a knot in my stomach,
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel,
Sucking monkberry moon delight.
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight.
Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
And my hair is a tangled beretta.
When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest,
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...).
Catch up! (catch up),
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
Monkberry moon delight...
Monkberry moon delight

About this Song
Monkberry Moon Delight by Paul McCartney is a whimsical and surreal song filled with playful and nonsensical imagery. McCartney uses vivid and bizarre scenarios to concoct a dreamlike narrative. The key themes of the song include imagination and escapism, reflecting a sense of creative freedom and unrestrained fantasy. A particularly poignant moment is the recurring chorus where McCartney exuberantly sings about indulging in the titular 'Monkberry Moon Delight,' a fictitious concoction that symbolizes pure, unadulterated joy. The song can be seen as an ode to the power of imagination and the delightful escape it offers.
