King Kong

Lyrics for King Kong

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 And he stripped his woman He stripped her bare But there was a pterodactyl There! And then a hero Came and took his woman And they fell off the mountain Into some water And then later He came looking for his woman But they were waiting And they threw a bomb And they tied him And took him across the ocean And they chained him And put him in the show And when he saw his woman He broke loose And everyone fled in terror And he was looking for her And he overtook a train And he was looking in the street And then he found her in her apartment And he climbed up the Empire State building 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 Some kind of city With all those skyscrapers And all the cars Just him and his screaming woman And they were finally alone He loved his woman You could see it in his eyes His great big eyes He loved his woman From the moment that he saw her He was all choked up inside But when the airplanes came He was soon to die But he hung on long enough to set his woman down And make sure that she was safe And as the bullets pierced He looked at her so sincere Before he fell Because he loved his woman And they shot him down They thought he was a monster But he was the King Who killed the monkey 'Twas beauty that killed the beast And Willis O'Brien died A tragic death There wasn't much That he had left And Ray Harryhousen said That when Willis died That's when the King was really dead They shot him down They shot him down They thought he was a monster But he was the King
