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 a bright summer day
Say man there's a big bad cat living down the way
You know he talks about your folks in a heck of a way
And he says a whole lot of things that I'm sort of afraid to say
Well the lion jumps salty all full of rage
Like a Harlem cat that's left in his cage
He meets the elephant up under a great big tree
And he says now look here big boy it's either you or me
They fought all night and they fought all day
Man I really don't know how but the lion he got away
He came back to the jungle more dead than alive
And that's when the monkey started to signify
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
ย
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 worked up his temper when he was jumping up and down
And his foot missed a limb and his head hit the ground
Like a bolt of lightning and a streak of heat
The lion was on the poor monkey with all four feet
The monkey looks up from the corner of his eyes
And he says now Mr. Lion I apologize
The monkey on his back he's slick he's got his upper scheme
He's trying to trick the old jungle king
He said now bear with me Mr. Lion like a good lion should
Please don't tear me up and throw me all over the woods
Well the lion jumps up and he squares off to fight
Oh but the monkey fooled him he was completely out of sight
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
