《The Jungle King (Signifying Monkey)》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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