It was in ancient history, four BC Back up in the jungle in a coconut on a branch up under the sun Was a meddlesome named Jo Jo Gunne
Old Leo the lion came down the mountain To get a drink of water from the fountain Jo Jo the monkey started him jive About the who was gonna skin him alive
Leo to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail Got mad and went roarin' the jungle trail He ran upon an beneath a tree And said, "Put up your dukes, you gotta with me"
An ol' eagle from Asia a non stop flight Tryin' to make it in time, to see them fight A crocodile phoned and the charge Comin' all the way from India on a barge
Ol' heard 'em talking in the lion's den But Jo Jo bet him three the elephant wins Jo Jo yelled at Leo,"Go on, knock him He don't outweigh you but a pounds"
Leo left wailin' a left upper cut The took his snoot and grabbed a coconut Leo a beautiful short back cross That's when the coconut up against his jaw
Leo grew tired, but he wouldn't in The elephant all loose, beat his in The buzzard said, they fought all day He couldn't understand how Leo got
Jo Jo everywhere, spreadin' the news To the and the leopards and the kangaroos A hoot owl reported he saw Had his eyes wide open, they it a draw
Leo limpin' with his jawbone bruised Jo Jo in the trees started the blues Laughin', meddlin', up and down 'Til his missed a limb and he fell to the ground
Just like a bolt of thunder and a of heat Leo covered Jo Jo all four feet Jo Jo was screamin' tears in his eyes Said," Mr. Leo, I apologize"
Said, "If you let my feet solid ground I'll you close range, fifteen rounds" Leo got back to the of the fight Jo Jo a leap and jumped, out of sight
