Jungle King - Cab Calloway/Cab Calloway & His Orchestra

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

I found out you ain't a doggone thing

Said the monkey to the lion

On the bright summer day

Say "There's a big bad cat

Living down the way

You know he talked about your

Folks in a heck of a way

And he says the whole other things

That I'm so afraid to say"

One the lion jumps up all full of rage

Like a Harlem cat

That's lepty his gauge

He meets the elephant

Up on the apply tree

And he says "Now look you big boy

It's you or me"

They follow and let me follow him

Man I really go no hand onboard the line

He gonna away

He come back through

The jungle more dead than alive

And that's when the monkey

Started to signafy jive

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

I found out you ain't a doggone thing

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

I found out you ain't a doggone thing

Well he waked up his temper

When he was jumping up and down

And his foot missed the limb

And his head hit the ground

Like a bolt of lightening

And a streak of heat

The lion was on him

But the monkey with all four feet

The monkey looks up

From the corner of his eyes

It is says "Now Mr Lion I apologize"

The monkey on his back

Is slakies studies up a scheme

He's trying to trick

That old jungle king

"He said now fire with me to land

Like a good line shoes

Please don't tell me open

Though we all over the world

Well the lion jumps up

And he squares off to fight

But the monkey falling

He was completely out of sight

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

You call yourself the jungle king

I found out you ain't a doggone thing
