text: In the cool shade of the banana tree
  On the rugged trail toward the balcony
  A child of the twentieth century
  A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee
  Far away in another place
  A fading beauty named Milly Grace
  A gospel singer with pocks on her face
  And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace
  Fee was a Buddhist prodigy
  Long past the age of maturity
  Someday he knew it would set him free
  Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee
  Oh, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Youre racing with the wind, youre flirting with death
  So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Youre racing with the wind, youre flirting with death
  So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath
  Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru
  His heart was jumping like a kangaroo
  Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo
  It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes
  But Floyd was jealous and alone
  He wanted Milly for his own
  A desperate craving in his bones
  Their love, he said, I will not condone.
  Then one day on a ship to Quebec
  Floyd found Fee and Milly on a lovers trek
  He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck
  It sliced through the air and Fee hit the deck
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  You want to stay with Milly until youre dead
  But you just got a bottle upside the head
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  You want to stay with Milly until youre dead
  But you just got a bottle upside the head
  Milly turned and began to scream
  At Floyd, she said, You think youre pretty mean
  And though she was as thin as a small string bean
  She slammed him in the face with a nectarine
  Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship
  Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip
  Milly said, Floyd, Ill make you lose your grip
  With this tiny piece of paper, I can make you slip
  So Milly took that paper and did the deed
  Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed
  And as the sharks circled in and began to feed
  Milly knew her weasel was finally free
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Floyd is dead, hes nothing but a ripple
  Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Floyd is dead, hes nothing but a ripple
  Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Youre racing with the wind, youre flirting with death
  So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath
  Whoa, Fee
  Youre trying to live a life thats completely free
  Youre racing with the wind, youre flirting with death
  So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath
