Signifying Monkey - Willie Dixon (威利·迪克森)[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]
