No one could explain it 
What went on that night 
How every living thing 
Just dropped out of sight 
We watched them take the bodies 
And row them back to shore 
Nothing like that ever 
Happened here before. 
 
On the east side of the island 
Not too far from the shore 
There stood the old house 
Of fifty years or more 
All the dorrs and windows 
Were locked inside and out 
The fate of those trapped in there 
Would never be found out. 
 
There ain't no life on Monkey Island 
No one cares and no one knows 
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island 
The night has dealt the final blow. 
 
The fish jumped from the water 
And started walking home 
The birds all started screaming 
And dove into the foam 
The night came out of nowhere 
And then a quiet rain 
Footsteps in the darkness 
Down a half forgotten road. 
 
There ain't no life on Monkey Island 
No one cares and no one knows 
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island 
The night has dealt the final blow. 
 
There ain't no life on Monkey Island 
The night has dealt the final blow. 
 
There ain't no life on Monkey Island 
No one cares and no one knows 
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island 
The night has dealt the final blow. 
 
There ain't no life on Monkey Island 
No one cares and no one knows 
The moon hangs out on Monkey Island 
The night has dealt the final blow.
