It was in ancient history, four

Back up in the jungle in a coconut 
tree

Hanging on a branch up under the sun

       N.C.
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
C
About the elephant who was gonna 
skin him alive

[Guitar Solo]
C   N.C.

[Verse 3]
C
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's 
tail
C
Got mad and went roarin' through the
 jungle trail

He ran upon an elephant beneath a 
tree
C
And said, put up your dukes you 
gotta tussle with me

An ol' eagle from Asia made a non

[Verse 5]
C
Ol' gorilla heard 'em talking in the
 lion's den
C
But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the 
elephant wins
C
Jo Jo yelled at Leo, Go on, knock 
him down
C
He don't outweigh you but a thousand
 pounds

[Verse 6]
C
Leo left wailin' with a left upper 
cut
C
The elephant took his snoot and 
grabbed a coconut
C
Leo fired a beautiful short back 
cross
C
That's when the coconut landed up 
against his jaw

[Verse 7]
C
Leo grew tired, but he wouldn't give
 in
C
The elephant all loose, beat his 
jawbone in
C
The buzzard said, they fought 
furious all day
C
He couldn't understand how Leo got 
away

[Verse 8]
C
Jo Jo runnin' everywhere, spreadin' 
the news
C
To the zebras and the leopards and 
the kangaroos
C
A hoot owl reported everything he 
saw
C
Had his eyes wide open, they called 
it a draw

C

[Verse 9]
C
Leo limping back with his jawbone 
bruised
C
Jo Jo in the trees started singin' 
the blues
C
Laughin', meddling, jumpin' up and 
down
C
Till his foot missed a limb and he 
fell to the ground

[Verse 10]
C
Just like a bolt of thunder and a 
streak of heat
C
Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet
C
Jo Jo was screamin' with tears in 
his eyes
C
Said, please mister Leo, I apologize

[Verse 11]
C
Said, if you let my feet upon solid 
ground
C
I'll fight you close range, fifteen 
rounds
C
Leo got back to the square of the 
fight
C
Jo Jo took a leap and jumped... out 
of sight
