It was in ancient history, four thousand BC Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree Hangin' 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 tellin' him jive About the elephant who was gonna skin him alive
