《Signifying Monkey》歌词

[00:00:00] Signifying Monkey - Willie Dixon (威利·迪克森)/D.R

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

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

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

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

[00:00:24] Said the Monkey to the Lion on the bright summer day

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

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

[00:00:33] A lot of other things I'm afraid to say"

[00:00:37] The Lion jumps up all full of rage

[00:00:39] Like a Harlem cat that's blown his gauge

[00:00:43] He meets the Elephant in the front of the tree

[00:00:45] He says "Now big boy it's you or me"

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

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

[00:00:55] The Lion jumps up and makes a fancy pass

[00:00:57] But the Elephant knocks him over in the grass

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

[00:01:04] I don't know how the Lion well he got away

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

[00:01:10] And that's when the Monkey really started his jive

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:59] The Lion was on him with all four feet

[00:02:02] But the Monkey looks up from the corner of his eye

[00:02:05] Says "Now Mr Lion I apologize"

[00:02:09] The Monkey on his back studies up a scheme

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

[00:02:15] "Be bad with me I wish you would

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

[00:02:21] The Lion jumps up squares off for a fight

[00:02:23] But the Monkey jumped completely out of sight

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

[00:02:29] I'll turn you over to my Elephant friend"

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

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

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

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