The Jungle King

A lion did walk through the jungle lush
He was takin' his time, wasn't in a rush
He was thinkin' he was special, he was quite the thing
He was mean and he was fierce, he was the Jungle King

He came to a monkey swingin' there in the trees
And he snagged his tail and began to squeeze
Then the monkey was scared, knew not what to do
And he wondered if the lion on his face would chew

Then the lion roared out, and made a huge request
"Of the beasts in the jungle just who is the best?"
Then the monkey called out and his voice did sing
“It's you mighty lion, you're the jungle king!”

So the lion left the monkey and he went on his way
Then he came to a fox he thought to make his prey
And he chased the fox to a great big tree
Where he couldn't get away and he couldn't get free

Then the lion roared out, very loud and long
“Of the beasts in the jungle who's the very most strong?”
Then the fox barked out and his voice did ring
“It's you mighty lion, you're the jungle king!”

So the lion left the fox, he was feelin' pretty fine
When he saw a big bear on which he thought to dine
He leapt out front where the bear did walk
And confronted him there with ferocious talk

Then the lion roared out, he was all out riled
“Of the beasts in the jungle, who's most fierce and wild?”
Then the big bear bellowed and the air did sting
“It's you mighty lion, you're the jungle king!”

Then the lion walked on and was feelin' mighty tough
When an elephant came out struttin' his stuff
And he blocked the path where the lion strode
Then the lion got mad and his anger showed

Then the lion roared out to the elephant there
“Of the beasts in the jungle, who's the biggest scare?”
But the big gray beast didn't say a thing
'Bout the mighty lion or the jungle king

But instead reached out with his mighty long trunk
And he batted the lion like he was a punk
Then again and again the lion he did swat
Then his great big feet on the lion did trot

Then the lion roared out, he was hurtin' really bad
“Why'd ya go and do that, you don't have to get all mad
Just 'Cause ya don't know the answer to the question I did bring
'Bout the mighty lion and the jungle king.”
