King kong! You've heard of his rumble in the Jungle, his mumbles and his jumbles, his jabs and yabs And the thriller in manila. He was lord of the rings, marabout of his bouts, griot of his fights. The master of the shuffle and the rope-a-dope Was dope and made the dough. I heard of his wits and his fist, Of the ease of his wrist And the gist of his float, He fluttered with his feet Then stung like a bee His belt was his crown In his robes he was king None can contest He was lord of the ring.
