King Kong
BJ The Chicago Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, I smoke a little bit
Might drink a little Hennessy

But when it boils down to me
Doing my job I gotta do me
Yeah three-sixty-five, seven days of the week
And I hang with the giants and we prey on the weak
Remember this is what you asked for now here come the beast
When you hear me kill every song just say "there go King Kong"

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
King Kong
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
King Kong

Sometimes I love to cruise around the city
Find some untempted pussy

But when it boils down to me
Doing my job I gotta do me
Yeah three-sixty-five, seven days of the week
And I hang with the giants and we prey on the weak
Remember this is what you asked for now here come the beast
When you hear me kill every song just say "there go King Kong"

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
King Kong
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah




Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
King Kong
