King Kong Tom Waits

They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

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

And when he saw the woman
He took her without question
Because after all
He was the king

And he loved the woman
He loved the way she looked
And she wouldn't stop screaming

But he loved the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
And it was a bloody battle
But he fought it for his woman

And he climbed up a mountain
And he looked around
Some kind of forest
With all these dinosaurs
