You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
I found out you ain't a doggone thing |
|
Said the monkey to the lion on the bright summer day |
|
"There's a big, bad cat living down the way |
|
He talked about your folks in a heck of a way |
|
A lot of other things I'm afraid to say" |
|
The lion jumps up all full of rage |
|
Like a Harlem cat that's blown his gauge |
|
He meets the elephant in the front of the tree |
|
He says, "Now big boy, it's you or me" |
|
The Elephant looks him from the corner of his eyes |
|
"You better find someone to fight your size" |
|
The lion jumps up and makes a fancy pass |
|
But the Elephant knocks him over in the grass |
|
They fought all night and they fought all day |
|
I don't know how the lion, well he got away |
|
He come back through the jungle more dead than alive |
|
And that's when the monkey really started his jive |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
I found out you ain't a doggone thing |
|
Well, he waked up his temper when he jumping up and down |
|
And his foot missed the limb and his head hit the ground |
|
Like a bolt of lightening and a streak of heat |
|
The lion was on him with all four feet |
|
But the monkey looks up from the corner of his eye |
|
Says, "Now Mr. Lion, I apologize" |
|
The monkey on his back, studies up a scheme |
|
He's trying to trick that jungle king |
|
"Be bad with me, I wish you would |
|
I'd tear you up all over the wood" |
|
The lion jumps up, squares off for a fight |
|
But the monkey jumped completely out of sight |
|
"So if you bother me again |
|
I'll turn you over to my elephant friend" |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
You call yourself the jungle king |
|
I found out you ain't a doggone thing |
