King Kong

Daniel Johnston

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
But she wouldn't stop
Her screaming

But he loved the woman
And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex
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 those 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 they took him across the ocean
And they chained him
And put him in the show

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

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
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
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 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
She was safe

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

They shot him down
They shot him down
They thought he was a monster
But he was the king
Who killed the monkey
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
But he was the king
But he was the king
But he was the king

King Kong

Lo derribaron
Lo derribaron
Pensaron que era un monstruo
Pero él era el rey

Llegaron a su isla
Y la trajeron con ellos
Querían sacarle una foto
Pero se sorprendieron por su enorme tamaño

Y cuando vio a la mujer
Se la llevó sin duda
Porque después de todo
Era el rey

Y amaba a la mujer
Le encantaba la forma en que se veía
Pero ella no paraba
Sus gritos

Pero amaba a la mujer
Y luchó contra un Tyrannosaurus Rex
Fue una batalla sangrienta
Pero luchó por su mujer

Y subió a una montaña
Y miró a su alrededor
Algún tipo de bosque
Con todos esos dinosaurios

Y despojó a su mujer
La desnudó
Pero había un pterodáctilo
¡Ahí está!

Y luego un héroe
Vino y se llevó a su mujer
Y cayeron de la montaña
En un poco de agua

Y luego más tarde
Vino a buscar a su mujer
Pero estaban esperando
Y lanzaron una bomba

Y lo ataron
Y lo llevaron a través del océano
Y lo encadenaron
Y lo puso en el show

Pero cuando vio a su mujer
Se soltó
Y todos huyeron aterrorizados
Y él la estaba buscando

Y volcó el tren
Estaba mirando en la calle
Y luego la encontró en su apartamento

Y subió al edificio Empire State
Era como un símbolo fálico
Y se llevó a su mujer
A la cima de ese templo imponente

Y subió y miró a su alrededor
Algún tipo de ciudad
Con todos esos rascacielos
Y todos los coches

Sólo él y su mujer gritando
Finalmente estaban solos
Amaba a su mujer
Podías verlo en sus ojos
Sus grandes ojos

Amaba a su mujer
Desde el momento en que la vio
Estaba todo atragantado por dentro

Pero cuando llegaron los aviones
Pronto moriría
Pero aguantó el tiempo suficiente para defraudar a su mujer
Y asegúrate de que
Estaba a salvo

Y como las balas perforaron
La miró tan sincera
Antes de caer
Porque amaba a su mujer

Lo derribaron
Lo derribaron
Pensaron que era un monstruo
Pero él era el rey

¿Quién mató al mono?
¿Quién mató al mono?
Era belleza
Que mató a la bestia

Y Willis O'Brien murió
Una muerte trágica
No había mucho
Que se había ido

Y Ray Harryhousen dijo
Que cuando Willis murió
Ahí es cuando el rey
Estaba realmente muerto

Lo derribaron
Lo derribaron
Pensaron que era un monstruo
Pero él era el rey

Pero él era el rey
Pero él era el rey
Pero él era el rey
