lyrics

I wish for love, I wish for gold, I wish for pearls.
I wish for love, I wish for sex, I wish for girls.

Nations of the world, rejoice!
I shall bring you peace.
I will take my monkey's paw,
and make you all believe.

One wish I have one finger left on monkey's paw,
One chance to make my life complete, make me a god.

Nations of the world, rejoice!
All bow down to me.
I will take my monkey's paw,
and make you all believe.
