intro/verse  

In the (Cm)cool shade of the (Abm)banana tree  

On the (Bbm)rugged trail toward the (Gbm)balcony  

A (Gbm7)child of the twentieth (Db)century  

A (Ab)dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee  

Far away in another place  

A fading beauty named Milly Grace

A gospel singer with pox 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

chorus

(Eb)Oh, Fee(Bb), you're (Db)trying to live a life That's (Ab)completely free. You're (Eb)racing with the wind You're (Bb)flirting with death So (Gm7)have a cup of coffee And (Ab) catch your breath

Piano solo after the chorus: Cm Bb Ab Eb Fm7 Cm7 Bb

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 Milly on a lover's trek

He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck  

It sliced through the air, and Fee hit the deck

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life that's completely free You want to stay with Milly until you're dead

But you just got a bottle upside your head

Milly turned and began to scream  

At Floyd, she said "You think you're 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

said, "Floyd I'll 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 and began to feed  

Milly knew her weasel was finally free

Oh, Fee, you're trying to live a life that's completely free Floyd is dead; he's nothing but a ripple

Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple
