King Kong – Daniel Johnston – letras

They shot him downThey shot him downThey thought he was a monsterBut he was the kingThey came to his islandAnd they brought her with themThey wanted to get his pictureBut they were surprised by his enormous sizeAnd when he saw the womanHe took her without questionBecause after allHe was the kingAnd he loved the womanHe loved the way she lookedBut she wouldn’t stopHer screamingBut he loved the womanAnd he fought a Tyrannosaurus RexIt was a bloody battleBut he fought it for his womanAnd he climbed up a mountainAnd he looked aroundSome kind of forestWith all those dinosaursAnd he stripped his womanHe stripped her bareBut there was a pterodactylThere!And then a heroCame and took his womanAnd they fell off the mountainInto some waterAnd then laterHe came looking for his womanBut they were waitingAnd they threw a bombAnd they tied himAnd they took him across the oceanAnd they chained himAnd put him in the showBut when he saw his womanHe broke looseAnd everyone fled in terrorAnd he was looking for herAnd he overturned the trainHe was looking in the streetAnd then he found her in her apartmentAnd He climbed up the Empire State buildingIt was like a phallic SymbolAnd he took his womanTo the top of that towering templeAnd he climbed up and looked aroundSome kind of cityWith all those skyscrapersAnd all the carsJust him and his screaming womanThey were finally aloneHe loved his womanYou could see it in his eyesHis great big eyesHe loved his womanFrom the moment he saw herHe was all choked up insideBut when the airplanes cameHe was soon to dieBut he hung on long enough to set his woman downAnd make sureShe was safeAnd as the bullets piercedHe looked at her so sincereBefore he fellBecause he loved his womanThey shot him downThey shot him downThey thought he was a monsterBut he was the kingWho killed the monkeyWho killed the monkey‘Twas beautyThat killed the beastAnd Willis O’Brien diedA tragic deathThere wasn’t muchThat he had leftAnd Ray Harryhousen saidThat when Willis diedThat’s when the kingWas really deadThey shot him downThey shot him downThey thought he was a monsterBut he was the kingBut he was the kingBut he was the kingBut he was the king
