King Kong Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
And when he saw the woman
He took her without question
Because after all
He was the king

[Verse 4]
And he loved the woman
He loved the way she looked
But she wouldn't stop
Her screaming

[Verse 5]
But he loved the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
It was a bloody battle
But he fought it for his woman

[Verse 6]
And he climbed up a mountain
And he looked around
Some kind of forest
With all those dinosaurs

[Verse 7]
And he stripped his woman
He stripped her bare
But there was a pterodactyl
There!

[Verse 8]
And then a hero
Came and took his woman
And they fell off the mountain
Into some water

[Verse 9]
And then later
He came looking for his woman
But they were waiting
And they threw a bomb

[Verse 10]
And they tied him
And they took him across the ocean
And they chained him
And put him in the show

[Verse 11]
But when he saw his woman
He broke loose
And everyone fled in terror
And he was looking for her

[Verse 12]
And he overturned the train
He was looking in the street
And then he found her in her apartment
And He climbed up the Empire State Building

[Verse 13]
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

[Verse 14]
Some kind of city
With all those skyscrapers
And all the cars
Just him and his screaming woman

[Verse 15]
They were finally alone
He loved his woman
You could see it in his eyes
His great big eyes

[Verse 16]
He loved his woman
From the moment he saw her
He was all choked up inside

[Verse 17]
But when the airplanes came
He was soon to die
But he hung on long enough to set his woman down
And make sure
She was safe

[Verse 18]
And as the bullets pierced
He looked at her so sincere
Before he fell
Because he loved his woman

[Verse 19]
They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

[Verse 20]
Who killed the monkey
Who killed the monkey
‘Twas beauty
That killed the beast

[Verse 21]
And Willis O'Brien died
A tragic death
There wasn't much
That he had left

[Verse 22]
And Ray Harryhousen said
That when Willis died
That's when the king
Was really dead

[Verse 23]
They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king

[Outro]
But he was the king
But he was the king
But he was the king
