This song is a combination of elements of “Picnic in the Jungle” by Snakefinger (off the album Chewing Hides the Sound) and “Monkey and Bunny” by The Residents off their album Title in Limbo. The title of course is also a racial slur used to refer to black people.
Once there was a little man
And they called him Shoe Shine Stan
Everyday the man would sweep
Clutter from the busy street
Seldom did he say a word
At least that anybody heard
Well, there was something in his face
That could never be erased
Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man
Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man
And like a little paper pup
He looked up from the broken cup
He drank his morning coffee in
And wiped the dribbles from his chin
Then I felt his eyes meet mine
And he made a little whine
He came within an inch or two
And then he whispered, "I hate you"
Could it be true? I understand
The meaning of that shoe shine man
Once I had some pets
And I let them starve to death
It was a silly little monkey
And a big white easter bunny
They lived in little cages
And sometimes in rages
I would turn them upside down
And drag the bunny all around
Jungle Bunny was written by Renaldo & The Loaf & Snakefinger & The Residents.
