For literacy this week we were tasked with making a rap about a book called the monkeys paw our teacher provided us with beats for our rap. And we had to work with a partner or 2
Lyrics:
Chorus
It’s a tale from the past
a curse that i’ll never last
the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise
Wishing for a bunch of lies
Making the parents cry
Shouldn’t this be a crime
Verse 1
They needed some good pay
But next week Herbert got slayed
Later they wished to bring him back
but the son was not the same
The dad used the third wish to take him back to his grave
before the paw would either take another soul away
Chorus
It’s a tale from the past
a curse that i’ll never last
the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise
Wishing for a bunch of lies
Making the parents cry
Shouldn’t this be a crime x2
Verse 2
If the son came back in time
Could he even sing or rhyme
He went straight out of his grave
The parents want him to pray
The paw that the sergeant brought
Was a old and grumpy foot
Should the dad throw it in and then let the monkey’s paw cook
Chorus
It’s a tale from the past
a curse that i’ll never last
the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise
Wishing for a bunch of lies
Making the parents cry
Shouldn’t this be a crime
