Monkey With His Fist in a Narrow Neck Jar / Disney Girls Gone Wild

OK, I admit it, I watch "Entertainment Tonight" and "Access Hollywood".  After a long day at work, and after watching the local and the national news broadcast, I let my mind veg out on mental junk food.

Lately, the entertainment news has been mostly about grown up Disney girls "Gone Wild": Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Hudgens,... These girls thought they have stardom but instead stardom has them.

The girls' lives reminded me of how they catch monkeys in the southeast Asia.

To catch the monkey, they put dates into a jar. The neck of the jar is just barely wide enough for the monkey to stick his hand into when the hand is not clinched. However, the neck of the jar is not wide enough for the monkey to take his hand out when it is holding a date. For some reason, the monkey is unwilling the let go of the date in the jar, despite not being able to take his hand out.

So I wrote the following.


Monkey with his fist in a narrow neck jar,
He's ruled by his belly,
So he just won't let go...
He just won't let go.

The Man, with a monkey wagon, not too far,
He came from New Delhi
To bring the monkey woe...
Bring the monkey woe.

Monkey has a collar with a big brass star
Does tricks on the tele
To make the Man some dough...
Make the Man some dough.

Disney girl, with cash, driving a fancy car,
Does tricks on the tele,
She's an attention ho.
An attention ho.

Monkey with his fist in a narrow neck jar...
