[00:03.40]It was in ancient history
[00:04.83]Four thousand B C
[00:05.61]
[00:06.19]Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree
[00:08.12]
[00:08.69]Hanging on a branch up under the sun
[00:11.12]Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne
[00:13.25]
[00:16.46]Old Leo the lion came down
[00:18.16]From the mountain
[00:19.20]To get a drink of water
[00:20.26]From the jungle fountain
[00:21.19]
[00:21.75]Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive
[00:24.09]About the elephant
[00:24.86]Who was gonna skin him alive
[00:26.35]
[00:32.02]Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail
[00:34.44]Got mad and went roarin'
[00:35.69]Through the jungle trail
[00:36.69]
[00:37.27]He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree
[00:39.71]And said  put up your dukes
[00:41.10]You gotta tussle with me
[00:41.94]
[00:44.97]An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight
[00:47.50]Tryin' to make it in time
[00:48.78]Just to see them fight
[00:50.20]A crocodile phoned
[00:51.22]And reversed the charge
[00:52.70]Coming all the way
[00:53.42]From India on a local barge
[00:54.81]
[01:00.60]Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the lion's den
[01:03.11]But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins
[01:05.31]
[01:05.85]Jo Jo yelled at Leo  Go on
[01:07.49]Knock him down
[01:08.44]He don't outweigh you
[01:09.90]But a thousand pounds
[01:10.73]
[01:13.42]Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut
[01:16.18]The elephant took his snoot
[01:17.24]And grabbed a coconut
[01:18.31]
[01:18.98]Leo fired a beautiful short back cross
[01:21.15]That's when the coconut
[01:22.12]Landed up against his jaw
[01:23.45]
[01:29.09]Leo grew tired  but he wouldn't give in
[01:31.58]The elephant all loose
[01:32.93]Beat his jawbone in
[01:33.93]
[01:34.49]The buzzard said
[01:35.51]They fought furious all day
[01:36.92]He couldn't understand
[01:38.06]How Leo got away
[01:39.16]
[01:42.14]Jo Jo runnin' everywhere
[01:43.50]Spreadin' the news
[01:44.65]To the zebras and the leopards
[01:46.06]And the kangaroos
[01:46.70]
[01:47.58]A hoot owl reported everything he saw
[01:49.79]Had his eyes wide open
[01:50.84]They called it a draw
[01:52.27]
[01:57.91]Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised
[02:00.39]Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the blues
[02:03.21]Laughin'  meddling  jumpin' up and down
[02:05.69]Till his foot missed a limb
[02:07.07]And he fell to the ground
[02:08.16]
[02:10.78]Just like a bolt of thunder
[02:12.16]And a streak of heat
[02:13.77]Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet
[02:16.16]Jo Jo was screamin'
[02:17.43]With tears in his eyes
[02:18.75]Said  please mister Leo
[02:20.29]I apologize
[02:21.01]
[02:26.50]Said  if you let my feet upon solid ground
[02:29.23]I'll fight you close range
[02:30.69]Fifteen rounds
[02:31.53]
[02:32.04]Leo got back to the square of the fight
[02:34.54]Jo Jo took a leap and jumped
[02:36.42]Out of sight
