They shot him down | |
They shot him down | |
They thought he was a monster | |
But he was the king | |
They came to his island | |
And they brought her with them | |
They wanted to get his picture | |
But they were surprised by his enormous size | |
And when he saw the woman | |
He took her without question | |
Because after all | |
He was the king | |
And he loved the woman | |
He loved the way she looked | |
But she wouldn't stop | |
Her screaming | |
But he loved the woman | |
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex | |
It was a bloody battle | |
But he fought it for his woman | |
And he climbed up a mountain | |
And he looked around | |
Some kind of forest | |
With all those dinosaurs | |
And he stripped his woman | |
He stripped her bare | |
But there was a pterodactyl | |
There! | |
And then a hero | |
Came and took his woman | |
And they fell off the mountain | |
Into some water | |
And then later | |
He came looking for his woman | |
But they were waiting | |
And they threw a bomb | |
And they tied him | |
And they took him across the ocean | |
And they chained him | |
And put him in the show | |
But when he saw his woman | |
He broke loose | |
And everyone fled in terror | |
And he was looking for her | |
And he overturned the train | |
He was looking in the street | |
And then he found her in her apartment | |
And He climbed up the Empire State building | |
It was like a phallic symbol | |
And he took his woman | |
To the top of that towering temple | |
And he climbed up and looked around | |
Some kind of city | |
With all those skyscrapers | |
And all the cars | |
Just him and his screaming woman | |
They were finally alone | |
He loved his woman | |
You could see it in his eyes | |
His great big eyes | |
He loved his woman | |
From the moment he saw her | |
He was all choked up inside | |
But when the airplanes came | |
He was soon to die | |
But he hung on long enough to set his woman down | |
And make sure | |
She was safe | |
And as the bullets pierced | |
He looked at her so sincere | |
Before he fell | |
Because he loved his woman | |
They shot him down | |
They shot him down | |
They thought he was a monster | |
But he was the king | |
Who killed the monkey | |
Who killed the monkey | |
‘Twas beauty | |
That killed the beast | |
And Willis O'Brien died | |
A tragic death | |
There wasn't much | |
That he had left | |
And Ray Harryhousen said | |
That when Willis died | |
That's when the king | |
Was really dead | |
They shot him down | |
They shot him down | |
They thought he was a monster | |
But he was the king | |
But he was the king | |
But he was the king | |
But he was the king |
They shot him down | |
They shot him down | |
They thought he was a monster | |
