It was in history, four thousand BC Back up in the jungle in a coconut on a branch up under the sun Was a monkey named Jo Jo Gunne
Old Leo the lion came down the mountain To get a of water from the jungle fountain Jo Jo the monkey tellin' him jive About the elephant who was skin him alive
Leo tried to reach and Jo Jo's tail Got mad and went roarin' through the trail He ran upon an elephant a tree And said, "Put up your dukes, you gotta with me"
An ol' eagle Asia made a non stop flight Tryin' to make it in time, to see them fight A crocodile and reversed the charge Comin' all the way from India on a local
Ol' gorilla heard 'em in the lion's den But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant Jo Jo yelled at Leo,"Go on, him down He don't you but a thousand pounds"
Leo left wailin' with a upper cut The elephant took his snoot and a coconut Leo fired a beautiful back cross when the coconut landed up against his jaw
Leo grew tired, but he give in The elephant all loose, beat his in The said, they fought furious all day He understand how Leo got away
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere, spreadin' the To the and the leopards and the kangaroos A hoot owl everything he saw Had his eyes open, they called it a draw
Leo limpin' with his jawbone bruised Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the Laughin', meddlin', jumpin' up and his foot missed a limb and he fell to the ground
Just a bolt of thunder and a streak 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 upon solid I'll you close range, fifteen rounds" Leo got back to the of the fight Jo Jo took a and jumped, out of sight
