Look at me! A lion so ferocious,

Everyone expects me to be grizzly,

How can I get mad, I'm so precocious...

Truth is that I sing like Elvis Presley!

Deep within the jungle, talent's lacking,

Tigers don't know how to sing falsetto,

Jackals and hyena can't sing backing,

Listen as I rip out "In the Ghetto."

Blue suede shoes has never sounded sweeter,

Don't be cruel if you think something's missing,

It's so hard to harmonize with cheetah,

Let alone that anaconda's hissing!

Every night the band and I get funky,

On the mixer: crocodile or warthog;

Lighting all controlled by rebus monkey,

Have you heard our disco mix of "Hound Dog?"

Meerkat dancers try to get me rappy,

Patter isn't something I can grapple,

Some giraffe has labeled me "girl happy,"

Can't he see me crying in the chapel?

Come and see me underneath the willow,

Best be early, everybody's flocking;

Watch me swoon the gnu and armadillo,

When I swing my hips to Jailhouse Rocking.

Don't be scared if maybe on a hot night

You can hear the sounds of grinding pelvis;

It's just me - a lion in the spotlight,

King of jungle rock n roll...I'm Elvis!
