Well I used to be king of the jungle swingin' high from every tree Oh I had no woman to bound me up I was foot loose and fancy free But this woman came along she put me in a cage She's got me under her lock and key Well I've flipped a new leaf turned a new page Cause here's what she's done to me
I gotta get off work oh I gotta get back home I gotta see my sweet sweet baby been thinking of her all day long Yeah I gotta do right by her Lord knows I can't do no wrong Cause Lord she's done made a monkey out of ole King Kong
[ dobro ] She's got me wrapped around her finger so tight Lord I don't even know which way to loose When she says jump I say how high do you choose She's got me under her thumb she won't even let me wear my shoes And the only king I am now is king of the blues
