Chuck Berry - Jo Jo Gunne

It was in ancient history four thousand BC
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 tellin' the jag
About the elephant who was gonna skin the lion
Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo's tail
Got mad and went roarin' 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
Tryin' to make it in time just to see them fight
A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge
Coming all the way from India upon 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 wailin' with a left upper cut
The elephant took a snoop 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 runnin' everywhere spreadin' 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 singin' the blues
Laughin' meddling jumpin' 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 screamin' 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
It was in ancient history four thousand BC
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

Chuck Berry Jo Jo Gunne

From 1958 another great track I couldn't find on You Tube - the brilliant Jo Jo Gunne - I reckon Syd Barrett heard this cos it's the same sort of story as ...
