Track 9 in Joe Hayman's "Colors of My Rainbow".
Lyrics:
(One, two, three, four)
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow coot.
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow coot.
Now a secret was a thing that the coot just could not stand.
He simply absolutely had to know.
He was crafty. He was sly. He was sneaky and he tried
everything that he could try, and so
when someone had a secret that coot would simply hide
high or low but always very near,
someplace inconspicuous where you would not suspect
but someplace where he knew that he would hear.
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow coot.
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow coot.
And then he would wait. For hours he would wait
patiently until somebody told.
Then he’d jump and shout. The secret, it was out.
His curiosity was uncontrolled.
One day he hid inside a banana that he spied
to listen to the monkeys tell their secret.
But the secret that he heard was his last and only word.
“We love bananas,” was the monkeys’ secret secret.
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow coot.
Curiosity killed the coot, that very mellow yellow
very dead coot.
