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
Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne
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` the jag
About the elephant who was gonna skin the lion
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo`s tail
Got mad and went roarin` through the jungle trail
He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree
And said, put up your dukes you gotta tussle with me
An ol` eagle from Asia made a non stop flight
Tryin` to make it in time, just to see them fight
A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge
Coming all the way from India upon a local barge
Ol` gorilla heard `em talking in the lion`s den
But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins
Jo Jo yelled at Leo,?O:P
