Monk Berry Moon Delight
Exuma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So i sat in the attic, a piano up my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata
Sore was i from a crack of an enemy's hose
And the horrible sound of tomato

Ketchup, Soup and puree, Don't get left behind
Ketchup, Soup and puree, Don't get left behind
Don't get left behind, Don't get left behind

When a rattle of rats had awoken
The sinews, the nerves and the veins
My piano was boldly outspoken
In attempts to repeat this refrain

So i stood with a knot in my stomach,
And i gazed at that terrible sight,
Of two young sters concealed in a barrel,
Suckin' monkberry moon delight, ho!

Monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight

Oh -Oh-oh, oh-oh

Well, i know my banana is older than the rest
And my hair is a tangled beretta(beretta, beretta)
But i leave my pyjamas to billy budapest,
And i don't get the gist of your letter
Catch up, Catch some kittens,
Don't get left behind Catch up,
Catch kittens, Don't get left behind
Don't get left behind, Don't get left behind

Oh monkberry moon delight, yeah, Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Monkberry moon delight, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Monkberry moon delight, Oh, monkberry moon delight,
Oh, monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight,
Oh-oh, Monkberry moon delight Suckin' monkberry moon
Delight,

Monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight, Ah, monkberry moon delight, yeah,
Yeah,
Monkberry moon delight, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Uh, monkberry moon delight.
"Try some of this, honey!"what is it?"

Monkberry moon delight,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...
(Ooh) monkberry moon delight, Uh, monkberry moon




Delight,
Monkberry moon delight, Monkberry moon delight, ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Exuma's "Monkberry Moon Delight" are abstract and surreal, making it difficult to decipher a concrete meaning. The song tells a story of the singer sitting in an attic with a piano up their nose while listening to the wind play a dreadful cantata. They are sore from an enemy's hose crack and from the sound of tomato. As the sinews, nerves, and veins are awoken by a rattle of rats, the person's piano becomes boldly outspoken by repeating a refrain. They stand with a knot in their stomach gazing at two youngsters who are concealed in a barrel sucking monkberry moon delight.


The lyrics to this song mainly consist of surreal images and similes that don't seem to make any sense at first glance. However, the repetitive phrases such as "Ketchup, Soup, and puree" and "Monkberry Moon Delight" seem to indicate a focus on food. This song may be about the pleasures of indulging in food and sensory experiences, enjoying life's simple pleasures and not worrying about the world's problems.

Paul McCartney is good. His voice deserves praise for its abilities. But Exuma lived this voice everyday, and was a master. Unsurpassed deep soul resonance. Powerful, scary, commanding. I am honored to have been living when he sang to the world. As I also, of course, feel privileged to have been alive while Paul McCartney sang (and sings still.)
