[Intro]
\n[Jungle Percussion, Upright Bass Groove, Clarinet Riff]
\nSwingin\u2019 through the canopy, rules don\u2019t apply
\nBanana republic under blackened sky
\nWho\u2019s calling shots from the tallest tree?
\nYou don\u2019t need a crown\u2014just a loud decree<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nClappin\u2019 hands, got a rhythm so wild
\nHalf wise elder, half reckless child
\nTalkin\u2019 big from a vine-made throne
\nEvery echo says he\u2019s not alone
\nDeals in coconuts, trades in harm
\nKeeps the jungle under his arm
\nSmiles wide with a sideways grin
\nYou never know what game he\u2019s in<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nOh, I’m starting to see
\n(He’s the head monkey)
\nPullin\u2019 strings through the canopy
\n(Calls it all lucky)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nKing Louie
\n(Orange orangutan)
\nReal screwy
\n(No, not human)
\nKing Louie
\n(Rules the jungle clan)
\nActs screwy
\n(Doing harm the way man can)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental \u2013 Clarinet Lead, Walking Bass, Hand Drums]<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nGot a council of chatter and swing
\nEvery branch offers the same thing
\nAs Louie laughs from high above
\nSays hatred will reign over love
\nWrites the rules then he rewrites fast
\nFuture tangled up with the past
\nPromises hanging by a vine
\nBreak one, say it\u2019s by design<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nNow it\u2019s plain to me
\n(He’s the head monkey)
\nBends the truth so easily
\n(Calls it all lucky)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nKing Louie
\n(Orange orangutan)
\nReal screwy
\n(No, not human)
\nKing Louie
\n(Runs the jungle plan)
\nActs screwy
\n(Screwin’ man the best he can)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown, Minimal Percussion, Finger Snaps]
\nSwing high, swing low
\nTruth moves fast, lies move slow
\nLaugh it off, steal the show
\nWhere it stops, nobody knows
\n[Build \u2013 Brass Hits, Rising Rhythm]
\nIs it power or parody?
\nJust a jungle anomaly?<\/p>\n
[Chorus \u2013 Full Band, Bigger Energy]
\nKing Louie
\n(Orange orangutan)
\nReal screwy
\n(No, not human)
\nKing Louie
\n(Top of jungle span)
\nActs screwy
\n(Throwing feces at man)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\n[Slow Groove, Clarinet Fades, Jungle Ambience]
\nFrom the treetops to the ground
\nEvery whisper, every sound
\nCarries stories twisted free
\nOf what is\u2026 and what might be
\n[Spoken\/Whispered]
\n\u201cHe\u2019s the head monkey\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
