Dominoes & Justin Hinds - The Higher The Monkey Climbs

The higher the monkey climbs, is the more he exposes
The higher the monkey climbs, is the more he exposes
The higher the monkey climbs, is the more he exposes

I'm not tracing nor complaining on those goings
He that exalteth himself shall be abased
Grief always comes to those who love to brag the most
Meekly wait and murmur not
You'd better hold on to what you have got
The higher the monkey climbs, is the more he exposes

(..)

He that exalteth himself shall be abased
Grief always comes to those who love to brag the most
Meekly wait and murmur not
You'd better hold on to what you have got
The higher the monkey climbs, is the more he exposes
I'm not tracing nor complaining on those goings

Note:

As a monkey climbs up a tree, it exposes its private parts and then becomes the butt (so to speak) of lewd jokes. This proverb rebukes social climbers and upstarts who, once they have reached the top, look down on their former friends.
