King Kong

[Verse 1]

They shot him down

They shot him down

They thought he was a monster

But he was the king

[Verse 2]

They came to his island

And they brought her with them

They wanted to get his picture

But they were surprised by his enormous size

[Verse 3]

And when he saw the woman

He took her without question

Because after all

He was the king

[Verse 4]

And he loved the woman

He loved the way she looked

But she wouldn't stop

Her screaming

[Verse 5]

But he loved the woman

And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex

It was a bloody battle

But he fought it for his woman

[Verse 6]

And he climbed up a mountain

And he looked around

Some kind of forest

With all those dinosaurs

[Verse 7]

And he stripped his woman

He stripped her bare

But there was a pterodactyl

There!

[Verse 8]

And then a hero

Came and took his woman

And they fell off the mountain

Into some water

[Verse 9]

And then later

He came looking for his woman

But they were waiting

And they threw a bomb

[Verse 10]

And they tied him

And they took him across the ocean

And they chained him

And put him in the show

[Verse 11]

But when he saw his woman

He broke loose

And everyone fled in terror

And he was looking for her

[Verse 12]

And he overturned the train

He was looking in the street

And then he found her in her apartment

And He climbed up the Empire State Building

[Verse 13]

It was like a phallic symbol

And he took his woman

To the top of that towering temple

And he climbed up and looked around

[Verse 14]

Some kind of city

With all those skyscrapers

And all the cars

Just him and his screaming woman

[Verse 15]

They were finally alone

He loved his woman

You could see it in his eyes

His great big eyes

[Verse 16]

He loved his woman

From the moment he saw her

He was all choked up inside

[Verse 17]

But when the airplanes came

He was soon to die

But he hung on long enough to set his woman down

And make sure

She was safe

[Verse 18]

And as the bullets pierced

He looked at her so sincere

Before he fell

Because he loved his woman

[Verse 19]

They shot him down

They shot him down

They thought he was a monster

But he was the king

[Verse 20]

Who killed the monkey

Who killed the monkey

‘Twas beauty

That killed the beast

[Verse 21]

And Willis O'Brien died

A tragic death

There wasn't much

That he had left

[Verse 22]

And Ray Harryhousen said

That when Willis died

That's when the king

Was really dead

[Verse 23]

They shot him down

They shot him down

They thought he was a monster

But he was the king

[Outro]

But he was the king

But he was the king

But he was the king
