《Jo Jo Gunne》歌词

[00:00:00] Jo Jo Gunne - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)

[00:00:03] It was in ancient history

[00:00:04] Four thousand B C

[00:00:06] Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree

[00:00:08] Hanging on a branch up under the sun

[00:00:11] Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne

[00:00:16] Old Leo the lion came down

[00:00:18] From the mountain

[00:00:19] To get a drink of water

[00:00:20] From the jungle fountain

[00:00:21] Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive

[00:00:24] About the elephant

[00:00:24] Who was gonna skin him alive

[00:00:32] Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail

[00:00:34] Got mad and went roarin'

[00:00:35] Through the jungle trail

[00:00:37] He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree

[00:00:39] And said put up your dukes

[00:00:41] You gotta tussle with me

[00:00:44] An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight

[00:00:47] Tryin' to make it in time

[00:00:48] Just to see them fight

[00:00:50] A crocodile phoned

[00:00:51] And reversed the charge

[00:00:52] Coming all the way

[00:00:53] From India on a local barge

[00:01:00] Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the lion's den

[00:01:03] But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins

[00:01:05] Jo Jo yelled at Leo Go on

[00:01:07] Knock him down

[00:01:08] He don't outweigh you

[00:01:09] But a thousand pounds

[00:01:13] Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut

[00:01:16] The elephant took his snoot

[00:01:17] And grabbed a coconut

[00:01:18] Leo fired a beautiful short back cross

[00:01:21] That's when the coconut

[00:01:22] Landed up against his jaw

[00:01:29] Leo grew tired but he wouldn't give in

[00:01:31] The elephant all loose

[00:01:32] Beat his jawbone in

[00:01:34] The buzzard said

[00:01:35] They fought furious all day

[00:01:36] He couldn't understand

[00:01:38] How Leo got away

[00:01:42] Jo Jo runnin' everywhere

[00:01:43] Spreadin' the news

[00:01:44] To the zebras and the leopards

[00:01:46] And the kangaroos

[00:01:47] A hoot owl reported everything he saw

[00:01:49] Had his eyes wide open

[00:01:50] They called it a draw

[00:01:57] Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised

[00:02:00] Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the blues

[00:02:03] Laughin' meddling jumpin' up and down

[00:02:05] Till his foot missed a limb

[00:02:07] And he fell to the ground

[00:02:10] Just like a bolt of thunder

[00:02:12] And a streak of heat

[00:02:13] Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet

[00:02:16] Jo Jo was screamin'

[00:02:17] With tears in his eyes

[00:02:18] Said please mister Leo

[00:02:20] I apologize

[00:02:26] Said if you let my feet upon solid ground

[00:02:29] I'll fight you close range

[00:02:30] Fifteen rounds

[00:02:32] Leo got back to the square of the fight

[00:02:34] Jo Jo took a leap and jumped

[00:02:36] Out of sight
