The Monkey, the Cow and the Wolf Lyrics - Zain Bhikha
Lyrics
Now these are stories they tell no liesLessons that stand through the test of timeThey tell us of a path that remains so trueBefore a Wolf or a Cow or Monkey gets you
And the first of the are monkey
Once was a wicked guySold people lots of lies
Showed something whole cut it half then he stoleKnow that's a no noTo others it's a low blowBe fair and be just is the only way to goBut then Allah sent him a monkeyThat he loved more than life itselfWhat he didn't know wherever he would goThe monkey purified his wealth
Unbeknown to him he thought he was freeOf his lies and his cheating but this could not beHis little friend, cleansed every little centAnd fifty percent of his wealthThe monkey threw into the sea
So it may be later it may be soonBut some day there's a monkey gonna come for youAllah hates cheating Allah hates liesSo give what's due and receive what's right
What about the Cow
Once was a farmer who brought lots of dramaWorking his animals harder and harderSaw them as nothing but low life creaturesTo bow to his bidding and to build his richesHe had a cow that he'd overloadAnd on top of that on top of the cow he rodeSo one day, to his enormous surpriseThe cow spoke right before his eyesHe said oh man this yoke I wearI was not created for this burden I bear
You cannot abuse me no longer you seeFor our Creator has allowed me to speakSo be kind to both animals and human beings
So it may be later it may be soonBut someday there's a cow gonna talk to youAllah made animals, Allah made manTo all living creatures be kind and fair
l know no one care about the Wolf
Once was a shepherd who loved his sheepHe cared day and night even deprived of his sleepAny little sound any little bleat bleatOff he ran real fast just to save his sheepThen one day there came the big bad wolfSneaking and creeping for a closer lookAnd suddenly when he grabbed one lamb!
And tried to run away to his faraway landBut little did he know the shepherd wasn't slowChasing and chasing until the wolf let goBut then wolf spoke he said oh bewareSomeday you'll be gone I'll be coming back hereAnd between them and me there'll be no one to standAnd the wolf will be the shepherd of the lambs
So it may be later it may be soonBut someday there's a wolf gonna try to take youBe strong in faith and to your shepherd be trueAllah keep us safe when the wolf breaks through
So these are stories they tell no liesLessons that stand through the test of timeThey tell us of a path that remains so trueBefore a wolf or a cow or monkey gets you
