[00:03.40] |
It was in ancient history |
[00:04.83] |
Four thousand B C |
[00:05.61] |
|
[00:06.19] |
Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree |
[00:08.12] |
|
[00:08.69] |
Hanging on a branch up under the sun |
[00:11.12] |
Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne |
[00:13.25] |
|
[00:16.46] |
Old Leo the lion came down |
[00:18.16] |
From the mountain |
[00:19.20] |
To get a drink of water |
[00:20.26] |
From the jungle fountain |
[00:21.19] |
|
[00:21.75] |
Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive |
[00:24.09] |
About the elephant |
[00:24.86] |
Who was gonna skin him alive |
[00:26.35] |
|
[00:32.02] |
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail |
[00:34.44] |
Got mad and went roarin' |
[00:35.69] |
Through the jungle trail |
[00:36.69] |
|
[00:37.27] |
He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree |
[00:39.71] |
And said put up your dukes |
[00:41.10] |
You gotta tussle with me |
[00:41.94] |
|
[00:44.97] |
An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight |
[00:47.50] |
Tryin' to make it in time |
[00:48.78] |
Just to see them fight |
[00:50.20] |
A crocodile phoned |
[00:51.22] |
And reversed the charge |
[00:52.70] |
Coming all the way |
[00:53.42] |
From India on a local barge |
[00:54.81] |
|
[01:00.60] |
Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the lion's den |
[01:03.11] |
But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins |
[01:05.31] |
|
[01:05.85] |
Jo Jo yelled at Leo Go on |
[01:07.49] |
Knock him down |
[01:08.44] |
He don't outweigh you |
[01:09.90] |
But a thousand pounds |
[01:10.73] |
|
[01:13.42] |
Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut |
[01:16.18] |
The elephant took his snoot |
[01:17.24] |
And grabbed a coconut |
[01:18.31] |
|
[01:18.98] |
Leo fired a beautiful short back cross |
[01:21.15] |
That's when the coconut |
[01:22.12] |
Landed up against his jaw |
[01:23.45] |
|
[01:29.09] |
Leo grew tired but he wouldn't give in |
[01:31.58] |
The elephant all loose |
[01:32.93] |
Beat his jawbone in |
[01:33.93] |
|
[01:34.49] |
The buzzard said |
[01:35.51] |
They fought furious all day |
[01:36.92] |
He couldn't understand |
[01:38.06] |
How Leo got away |
[01:39.16] |
|
[01:42.14] |
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere |
[01:43.50] |
Spreadin' the news |
[01:44.65] |
To the zebras and the leopards |
[01:46.06] |
And the kangaroos |
[01:46.70] |
|
[01:47.58] |
A hoot owl reported everything he saw |
[01:49.79] |
Had his eyes wide open |
[01:50.84] |
They called it a draw |
[01:52.27] |
|
[01:57.91] |
Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised |
[02:00.39] |
Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the blues |
[02:03.21] |
Laughin' meddling jumpin' up and down |
[02:05.69] |
Till his foot missed a limb |
[02:07.07] |
And he fell to the ground |
[02:08.16] |
|
[02:10.78] |
Just like a bolt of thunder |
[02:12.16] |
And a streak of heat |
[02:13.77] |
Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet |
[02:16.16] |
Jo Jo was screamin' |
[02:17.43] |
With tears in his eyes |
[02:18.75] |
Said please mister Leo |
[02:20.29] |
I apologize |
[02:21.01] |
|
[02:26.50] |
Said if you let my feet upon solid ground |
[02:29.23] |
I'll fight you close range |
[02:30.69] |
Fifteen rounds |
[02:31.53] |
|
[02:32.04] |
Leo got back to the square of the fight |
[02:34.54] |
Jo Jo took a leap and jumped |
[02:36.42] |
Out of sight |
