Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night 
then I had a very funny notion, yeah 
I really had to write a song about it 
and then I’m gonna sing it with my rock’n roll band 
and I bet that people gonna like it, yeah 
I know that everybody’s gonna shout it 
about a dreadful, mighty killer 
a big, black, wild gorilla 

(We do the) King Kong song 
won’t you sing along 
listen to the music and it couldn’t go wrong 
(we do the) King Kong song 
gotta sing along 
can’t you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom? 
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song 

Now we can make the jungle out of any old place 
we can make gorillas out of people, yeah 
well who can tell a monkey from a monkey 
so people get together gonna have a good time 
everybody listen to the music, yeah 
the song we’re gonna sing is kinda funky 
so let your arms hang down 
and waddle all around 
like a dreadful, mighty killer 
a big, black, wild gorilla 

(We do the) King Kong song 
won’t you sing along 
listen to the music and it couldn’t go wrong 
(we do the) King Kong song 
gotta sing along 
can’t you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom? 
Listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song 

Like a dreadful, mighty killer 
a big, black, wild gorilla 

(We do the) King Kong song 
won’t you sing along 
listen to the music and it couldn’t go wrong 
(we do the) King Kong song 
gotta sing along 
can’t you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom 
listen to the rhythm of the King Kong song
