Verse 1
You call yourself
(B minor) the (G major) jungle (D major) king
You call your (B minor) self a (G major) jungle king
(D major) You call yourself a (G major) jungle king
(D major) But I (A major) found (D major) out you ain't (A major) a dog or a (D major) man
Said the monkey to the lion
on a bright summer day
There's a big bad (B minor) cat
liv (D major) ing (G major) down (D major) the way
He talks about your folks
in a (G major) heck of a (A flatdim) way
And a lot of (D major) other thing
(F sharp minor) s (A major) I'm afraid (E major) to (A major) say (D major)
(A major) The (D major) lion jumps (B minor) up all (D major) full of rage
(A major) Like (D major) a Harlem cat (B minor) that's (D major) left in his cage
(E flat major) He (D major) meets the elephant up (E major) (D major) under (A flatdim) a tree
And he (D major) said, (A major) big boys, (D major) either you (A major) or (D major) me
(A major) The (D major) elephant looks him over
from the corner of his eyes
(F sharp minor) You (D major) better find (B minor) someone
(D major) to fight that's more (E major) your size (E minor)
(E flat major) The (D major) lion jumps up and
makes a (G major) fancy pass
(A flatdim) But the elephant (E major) knocks
(A major) him over (F sharp minor) in (A major) the grass (D major)
(A major) They (D major) fought all day, they fought all night
(A major) I (D major) don't know what happene (B minor) d,
but things (D major) got tight
(A major) The (D major) lion came back more dead (G major) (A flatdim) than alive
And (D major) that's when the monkey
(F sharp minor) really (A major) started (D major) his jive
You call yourself the (B minor) Jungle (D major) King,
you call your (B minor) self the (G major) Jungle (A major) King,
you (D major) call yourself the (G major) Jungle (A flatdim) King,
but (E major) I've (A major) found out you ain't (D major) a doggone thing.
(E minor) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major)
(G major) (D major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) (A major)
Well, (D major) he waked up (B minor) his temper
when (D major) he's jumping up and down (A major)
(D major) and his foot missed the limb
and his (E minor) head hit the ground
(A major) like (D major) a bolt of light (F sharp minor) ning an
(D major) d a (G major) streak of heat.
The (A flatdim) (E major) lion (A major) was on (E major) him
(D major) with all four feet,
(A major) but the (D major) monkey looked (B minor) up
from (D major) the corner (G major) of his eyes,
(D major) said now Mr. (B minor) Lion, I (D major) apologize.
(E flat major) The (D major) monkey's on his back
studying up (G major) a scheme,
(A flatdim) he's (E major) trying to (D major) get rid of (E major) that jungle (D major) king.
(A major) You (D major) bear (B minor) with me, (D major) and I (G major) wish you would,
I'll tear you up all (D major) over the wood (A major) s.
The (D major) lion jumps up and
squares off (A flatdim) for a fight
But the (C sharp major) monkey (D major) jumped completely
(F sharp minor) out (E major) of sight
(D major) So (A major) (D major) if you bother me (A flatdim) again
I'll (E major) turn (A major) you over to my (E major) elephant (A major) friend
(D major) You call your (B minor) self the (E minor) Jungle King
(A major) You (D major) call your (B minor) self the Jungle (E major) King
(A major) You (D major) call yourself the (G major) Jungle King
(A flatdim) But (A major) I found out you ain't
a normal (D major) thing
