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' him jive About the elephant Who was gonna skin him alive
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 on 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 Go on Knock him down He don't outweigh you But a thousand pounds
Leo left wailin' with a left upper cut The elephant took his snoot And grabbed a coconut
Leo fired a beautiful short back cross That's when the coconut Landed up against his jaw
Leo grew tired but he wouldn't give in The elephant all loose Beat his jawbone in
The buzzard said They fought furious all day He couldn't understand How Leo got away
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere Spreadin' the news To the zebras and the leopards And the kangaroos
A hoot owl reported everything he saw Had his eyes wide open They called it a draw
Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised Jo Jo in the trees started singin' the blues Laughin' meddling jumpin' up and down Till his foot missed a limb And he fell to the ground
Just like a bolt of thunder And a streak of heat Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet Jo Jo was screamin' With tears in his eyes Said please mister Leo I apologize
Said if you let my feet upon solid ground I'll fight you close range Fifteen rounds
Leo got back to the square of the fight Jo Jo took a leap and jumped Out of sight
