The Jungle King - Cab Calloway/Duke Ellington (埃林·顿公爵)/Max Roach[00:00:00]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:00:08]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:00:11]

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

I found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:00:19]

Said the monkey to the lion on a bright summer day[00:00:22]

Say man there's a big bad cat living down the way[00:00:26]

You know he talks about your folks in a heck of a way[00:00:29]

And he says a whole lotta things that I'm sorta afraid to say[00:00:33]

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

Like a Harlem cat that's left in his cage[00:00:41]

He meets the elephant up under a great big tree[00:00:44]

And he says look here now big boy it's either you or me[00:00:48]

They fought all night and they fought all day[00:00:53]

Man I really don't know how but the lion he got away[00:00:55]

He came back to the jungle more dead than alive[00:01:00]

And that's when the monkey started to signify[00:01:03]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:01:08]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:01:11]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:01:15]

I found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:01:19]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:01:53]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:01:57]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:02:01]

I found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:02:05]

Well he worked up his temper when he was jumping up and down[00:02:09]

And his foot missed a limb and his head hit the ground[00:02:12]

Like a bolt o lightning in a stricken heap[00:02:16]

The lion was on the poor monkey with all four feet[00:02:20]

The monkey looks up from the corner of his eyes[00:02:24]

And he says now Mr lion I apologize[00:02:27]

The monkey on his back he's slick he studies up a scheme[00:02:32]

He's trying to trick the old jungle king[00:02:36]

He said now bear with me Mr lion like a good lion should[00:02:39]

Please don't tear me up and throw me all over the woods[00:02:43]

Well the lion jumps up and he squares off to fight[00:02:47]

Oh but the monkey fooled him he was completely outta sight[00:02:51]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:02:54]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:02:58]

You call yourself the jungle king[00:03:02]

I found out you ain't a doggone thing[00:03:06]
