Jo Jo Gunne
(专辑: Chuck Berry Is On Top - 1959)
It was in ancient history, four thousand B.C. Back up in the
jungle in a
coconut tree 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 telling 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 roaring 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 Trying 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 wailing 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 running everywhere, spreading 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 singing the
blues Laughing, meddling, jumping 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 screaming 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
