DMC: "King Kong Song" by Suzy Levinson





KING KONG SONG

BANANA BITTY DITTY!
Me gorilla and me pretty!
When me show up in the city,
all the peoples stop to stare!

BANANA ROOTY TOOTY!
Peoples screaming at my beauty!
So me bid them HOWDY DOODY
as me swingy through the air!

BANANA KONGA KINGY!
Me climb up this shiny thingy!
Look, a bird with metal wingy
want to touch my pretty hair.
