            G            C/G          G  C/G  G
Well I was looking at a movie on the TV last night
             C/G         G      C/G  D
Then I had a very funny notion, yeah
   D
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 the  people gonna like it yeah
I know that everybody's gonna shout it

      D                          A7
And what a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla

Chorus:
           D               G
We do the King Kong song, won't you sing along
 Em                         A
Listen to the music and it couldn't go wrong
           D               G
We do the King Kong song, gotta sing along
 Em                                A
Can't you hear the beating of the monkey tom-tom
 Em                           A          D
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
'Cause what we're gonna sing is kinda funky

    A                      E7
So let your arms hang down
                     G
And waddle all around
                             E7
Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla

Like a dreadful mighty killer
A big black wild gorilla
