In the worlds of the Seventies, primal chaos reigned ...
In the Worlds before Monkey, primal chaos reigned.
Heaven sought order, but the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again, as endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven, the moistures of the Earth, and the powers of the Sun and the Moon all worked upon a certain rock - old as Creation, and it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought.
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha, said, 'With our thoughts we make the world.'
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch: from it there came a stone Monkey.
The nature of Monkey was ... irrepressible!
Born from an egg on a mountaintop
Funkiest monkey that ever bopped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
Teased the gods and everyone and had some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic ooh!
Then there's the full version:-
Born from an egg on a mountaintop
Funkiest monkey that ever bopped
He knew every magic trick under the sun
Teased the gods and everyone and had some fun
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic!
What a cocky, saucy monkey this one is
All the gods were angry and they punished him
Until he was saved by a kindly priest
And that was the start of their pilgrimage west
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic!
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic,
Monkey magic, Monkey magic!
The closing theme of the series was called Gandhara.
A long time ago
When men were all babes
There was a land of the free
Fantasy and dreams
Were it's untouched wealth
And goodness and love were real
Each man desires to reach Gandhara
His very own utopia
In the striving, in the seeking soul
Man can see Gandhara
In Gandhara, Gandhara
They say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara
The place of light Gandhara
Though long ago and far
Beyond the winding road
Always beyond every bend
A beautiful land
Still waits for the few
Who make it to the very end
Each man desires to reach Gandhara
His very own utopia
In the striving, in the seeking soul
Man can see Gandhara
(*) In Gandhara, Gandhara
They say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara
The place of light Gandhara

Sokoni yukeba, donna yumemo kanauto yuuyo
Daremonina yukitagaruga, harakana sekai
Sono kunino nawa Gandhara
Dokokani aru Utopia
Doushitara yukeruno darou? Oshiete hoshii
*In Gandhara, Gandhara
They say it was in India
Gandhara, Gandhara
Ai no kuni Gandhara
Ikiru kotono kurushimi sae kieruto yuuyo
Tabi datta hitowa iruga, amarini tohi
Jiyuuna sono Gandhara
Subarashii Utopia
Kokorono nakani ikiru maboroshi nanoka?
