[Verse 1]

It was in ancient history, four thousand B.C.

Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree

Hanging on a branch up under the sun
C N.C.
Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne

[Verse 2]

Old Leo the lion came down from the mountain

To get a drink of water from the jungle fountain

Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive
C
About the elephant who was gonna skin him alive

[Guitar Solo]
C N.C.

[Verse 3]

Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail
C
Got mad and went roarin' through the jungle trail
C
He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree
C
And said, put up your dukes you gotta tussle with me

[Verse 4]
C
An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight
C
Tryin' to make it in time, just to see them fight

A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge
C
Coming all the way from India on a local barge

[Verse 5]
C
Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the lion's den

But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins

He don't outweigh you but a thousand pounds

Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut

The elephant took his snoot and grabbed a coconut

Leo fired a beautiful short back cross
C
That's when the coconut landed up against his jaw

Leo grew tired, but he wouldn't give in
C
The elephant all loose, beat his jawbone in
C
The buzzard said, they fought furious all day
C
He couldn't understand how Leo got away

[Verse 8]
C
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere, spreadin' the news
C
To the zebras and the leopards and the kangaroos
C
A hoot owl reported everything he saw
C
Had his eyes wide open, they called it a draw
