The Story: Don't eat the fruit in the garden, Eden,, It wasn't in God's natural plan., You were only a rib,, And look at what you did,, To Adam, the father of Man.
The Story: You smell like goat, I'll see you in hell
The industrial north-west of Great Britain is a long long way away fro0m the southern United States. We know nothing of "levees", which we found out only too late are raised embankments on either side of a river in a low-lying flood plain, designed to absorb overflow and prevent flooding in inclement conditions.
However we do have a slang term "lavvy", short for "lavatory" or "toilet".
This made far more sense of the song.
We know the Blues are sung about illness, poveerty, loss and life's painful downer moments. What could be more painful than acute constipation? And the lavvy-busting moment when breakthrough occurs and the bowels finally empty? God help us, that's what we thought the song was about...
the "monkey-man" bit came out of Douglas Adams' "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" - Zaphod's put-down of Arthur Dent. How it made its way her, no-one knows!

I laughed so had the tears rolled down my face! The last verses of the song are: "Goin' Down, going down now, Going Down, goin' down now". It fits right in with the story, Even the final few notes of the music are like the pause after you push the flush lever, and then get the gurgle at the end! PRiceless!
