The Jungle King (You Ain’t Done a Doggone Thing) Cab Calloway

You call yourself the jungle king
You call yourself the jungle king
You call yourself the jungle king
I found out you ain't a doggone thing

Said the monkey to the lion on a bright summer day
"Say man, there's a big, bad cat living down the way
You know he talks about your folks in a heck of a way
And he says a whole lot of things that I'm sorta afraid to say"

Well, the lion jumps salty, all full of rage
Like a Harlem cat that's left in his cage
He meets the elephant up under a great big tree
And he says, "Now look here big boy, it's either you or me"

They fought all night and they fought all day
Man, I really don't know how, but the lion, he got away
He come back to the jungle more dead than alive
And that's when the monkey started to signify

(You call yourself the jungle king)
(You call yourself the jungle king)
(You call yourself the jungle king)
I found out you ain't a doggone thing
