| They shot him down | |
| They shot him down | |
| They thought he was a monster | |
| But he was the king | |
| They came to his island | |
| And they brought her with them | |
| They wanted to get his picture | |
| But they were surprised by his enormous size | |
| And when he saw the woman | |
| He took her without question | |
| Because after all | |
| He was the king | |
| And he loved the woman | |
| He loved the way she looked | |
| But she wouldn't stop | |
| Her screaming | |
| But he loved the woman | |
| And he fought a Tyrannosaurus Rex | |
| It was a bloody battle | |
| But he fought it for his woman | |
| And he climbed up a mountain | |
| And he looked around | |
| Some kind of forest | |
| With all those dinosaurs | |
| And he stripped his woman | |
| He stripped her bare | |
| But there was a pterodactyl | |
| There! | |
| And then a hero | |
| Came and took his woman | |
| And they fell off the mountain | |
| Into some water | |
| And then later | |
| He came looking for his woman | |
| But they were waiting | |
| And they threw a bomb | |
| And they tied him | |
| And they took him across the ocean | |
| And they chained him | |
| And put him in the show | |
| But when he saw his woman | |
| He broke loose | |
| And everyone fled in terror | |
| And he was looking for her | |
| And he overturned the train | |
| He was looking in the street | |
| And then he found her in her apartment | |
| And He climbed up the Empire State building | |
| It was like a phallic symbol | |
| And he took his woman | |
| To the top of that towering temple | |
| And he climbed up and looked around | |
| Some kind of city | |
| With all those skyscrapers | |
| And all the cars | |
| Just him and his screaming woman | |
| They were finally alone | |
| He loved his woman | |
| You could see it in his eyes | |
| His great big eyes | |
| He loved his woman | |
| From the moment he saw her | |
| He was all choked up inside | |
| But when the airplanes came | |
| He was soon to die | |
| But he hung on long enough to set his woman down | |
| And make sure | |
| She was safe | |
| And as the bullets pierced | |
| He looked at her so sincere | |
| Before he fell | |
| Because he loved his woman | |
| They shot him down | |
| They shot him down | |
| They thought he was a monster | |
| But he was the king | |
| Who killed the monkey | |
| Who killed the monkey | |
| ‘Twas beauty | |
| That killed the beast | |
| And Willis O'Brien died | |
| A tragic death | |
| There wasn't much | |
| That he had left | |
| And Ray Harryhousen said | |
| That when Willis died | |
| That's when the king | |
| Was really dead | |
| They shot him down | |
| They shot him down | |
| They thought he was a monster | |
| But he was the king | |
| But he was the king | |
| But he was the king | |
