Jo Jo Gunne - Chuck Berry[00:00:01]
It was in ancient history four thousand B C [00:00:03]
Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree[00:00:06]
Hanging on a branch up under the sun[00:00:09]
Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne[00:00:11]
Old Leo the lion came down from the mountain[00:00:17]
To get a drink of water from the jungle fountain[00:00:20]
Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive[00:00:23]
About the elephant who was gonna skin him alive[00:00:25]
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail[00:00:33]
Got mad and went roarin' through the jungle trail[00:00:36]
He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree[00:00:39]
And said put up your dukes you gotta tussle with me[00:00:42]
An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight[00:00:47]
Tryin' to make it in time just to see them fight[00:00:50]
A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge[00:00:53]
Coming all the way from India on a local barge[00:00:56]
Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the lion's den[00:01:04]
But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins[00:01:07]
Jo Jo yelled at Leo go on knock him down[00:01:10]
He don't outweigh you but a thousand pounds[00:01:12]
Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut[00:01:18]
The elephant took his snoot and grabbed a coconut[00:01:21]
Leo fired a beautiful short back cross[00:01:23]
That's when the coconut landed up against his jaw[00:01:26]
Leo grew tired but he wouldn't give in[00:01:34]
The elephant all loose beat his jawbone in[00:01:37]
The buzzard said they fought furious all day[00:01:40]
He couldn't understand how Leo got away[00:01:43]
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere spreadin' the news[00:01:48]
To the zebras and the leopards and the kangaroos[00:01:51]
A hoot owl reported everything he saw[00:01:54]
Had his eyes wide open they called it a draw[00:01:56]
Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised[00:02:05]
Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the blues[00:02:08]
Laughin' meddling jumpin' up and down[00:02:10]
Till his foot missed a limb and he fell to the ground[00:02:13]
Just like a bolt of thunder and a streak of heat[00:02:19]
Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet[00:02:22]
Jo Jo was screamin' with tears in his eyes[00:02:24]
Said please mister Leo I apologize[00:02:27]
Said if you let my feet upon solid ground[00:02:35]
I'll fight you close range fifteen rounds[00:02:38]
Leo got back to the square of the fight[00:02:41]
Jo Jo took a leap and jumped out of sight[00:02:44]
