signifying monkey - willie dixon[00:00:00]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:00:13]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:00:15]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:00:18]

i found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:00:21]

said the monkey to the lion on the bright summer day,[00:00:24]

"there's a big, bad cat livin' down the way[00:00:27]

he talked about your folks in a heck of a way[00:00:31]

a lot of other things i'm afraid to say"[00:00:33]

the lion jumps up all full of rage[00:00:37]

like a harlem cat that's blown his gauge[00:00:39]

he meets the elephant in the front of the tree[00:00:43]

he says, "now big boy it's you or me"[00:00:45]

the elephant looks him from the corner of his eyes[00:00:49]

"you better find someone to fight your size"[00:00:52]

the lion jumps up and makes a fancy pass[00:00:55]

but the elephant knocks him over in the grass[00:00:57]

they fought all night and they fought all day[00:01:02]

i don't know how the lion, well he got away[00:01:04]

he come back through the jungle more dead than alive[00:01:08]

and that's when the monkey really started his jive[00:01:10]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:01:14]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:01:16]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:01:19]

i found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:01:22]

well he waked up his temper when he jumpin' up and down[00:01:50]

and his foot missed the limb and his head hit the ground[00:01:53]

like a bolt of light'ning and a streak of heat[00:01:56]

the lion was on him with all four feet[00:01:59]

but the monkey looks up from the corner of his eye[00:02:02]

says, "now mr. lion, i apologize"[00:02:05]

the monkey on his back studies up a scheme[00:02:09]

he's tryin' to trick that jungle king[00:02:11]

"be bad with me, i wish you would[00:02:15]

i'd tear you up all over the wood"[00:02:17]

the lion jumps up, squares off for a fight[00:02:21]

but the monkey jumped completely out of sight[00:02:23]

"so if you bother me again[00:02:26]

i'll turn you over to my elephant friend"[00:02:29]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:02:33]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:02:35]

you call yourself the jungle king[00:02:38]

i found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:02:41]
