Lyrics
¿Saben saben lo que hizo
El famoso Mono Liso?
A la orilla de una zanja
Cazó viva una naranja
¡Qué coraje, qué valor!
Aunque se olvidó el cuchillo
En el dulce de membrillo
La cazó con tenedor
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
A la hora de la cena
La naranja le dio pena
Fue tan bueno el Mono Liso
Que de postre no la quiso
El valiente cazador
Ordenó a su comitiva
Que se la guardaran viva
En el refrigerador
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
Mono Liso en la cocina
Con una paciencia china
La domaba día a día
La naranja no aprendía
Mono Liso con rigor
Al fin la empujó un poquito
Y dio su primer pasito
La naranja sin error
La naranja, Mono Liso
La mostraba por el piso
Otras veces, de visita
La llevaba en su jaulita
Pero un día entró un ladrón
Se imaginan lo que hizo
El valiente Mono Liso dijo:
«Ay, qué papelón»
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
A la corte del Rey Momo
Fue a quejarse por el robo
Mentiroso, el rey promete
Que la tiene el gran bonete
Porque sí, con frenesí
De repente dice el mono:
«Allí está detrás del trono
La naranja que perdí»
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
Y la reina sin permiso
Del valiente Mono Liso
Escondió en una sopera
La naranja paseandera
Mono Liso la salvó
Pero a fuerza de tapioca
La naranja estaba loca
Y este cuento se acabó
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
La naranja se pasea
De la sala al comedor
No me tires con cuchillo
Tírame con tenedor
Lyrics translation
You know you know what he did
The famous smooth Monkey?
At the edge of a ditch
He hunted an orange alive
What courage, what courage!
Although he forgot the knife
On the quince jam
He hunted her with a fork.
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
At dinner time
The Orange pitied him
It was so good the smooth Monkey
That he didn't want it for dessert
The brave hunter
Ordered his entourage
To keep her alive
In the refrigerator
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
Plain monkey in the kitchen
With Chinese patience
He tamed her day by day
The Orange did not learn
Plain jumpsuit with rigor
At last he pushed her a little bit
And he took his first step
The Orange without error
The Orange, Plain Monkey
I was showing it on the floor.
Other times, visiting
He was carrying her in his cage.
But one day a thief came in
Can you imagine what he did
The brave smooth Monkey said:
"Oh, what a piece of paper»
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
To the Court of King Momo
He went to complain about the robbery.
Liar, The King promises
That the big bonnet has it
Because yes, with frenzy
Suddenly the monkey says:
"There he is behind the throne
The Orange I lost»
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
And the Queen without permission
From the brave smooth Monkey
Hid in a soup pot
The Walking Orange
Smooth monkey saved her
But because of tapioca
The Orange was crazy
And this tale is over
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
The Orange walks
From living room to dining room
Don't throw a knife at me.
Throw me a fork
