Jo Jo Gunne

C

C
It was in ancient history, four thousand B.C.
C
Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree
C
Hanging on a branch up under the sun
C                                          N.C.
Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne

C
Old Leo the lion came down from the mountain
C
To get a drink of water from the jungle fountain
C
Jo Jo the monkey started tellin' him jive
C
About the elephant who was gonna skin him alive

C   N.C.

C
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail
C
Got mad and went roarin' through the jungle trail
C
He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree
C
And said, put up your dukes you gotta tussle with me

C
An ol' eagle from Asia made a non stop flight
C
Tryin' to make it in time, just to see them fight
C
A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge
C
Coming all the way from India on a local barge

C

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
