JO JO GUNNE As recorded by Chuck Berry (From the 1959 Album CHUCK BERRY IS ON TOP) [Intro] [Verse 1] It was in ancient history four thousand B.C. Back up in the jungle in a coconut tree Hanging on a branch up under the sun C                                          N.C. Was a meddlesome monkey named Jo Jo Gunne [Verse 2] Old Leo the lion came down from the mountain To get a drink of water from the jungle fountain Jo Jo the monkey started tellin’ him jive About the elephant who was gonna skin him alive [Guitar Solo] C   N.C. [Verse 3] Leo tried to reach and grab Jo Jo’s tail Got mad and went roarin’ through the jungle trail He ran upon an elephant beneath a tree And said put up your dukes you gotta tussle with me [Verse 4] An ol’ eagle from Asia made a non stop flight Tryin’ to make it in time just to see them fight A crocodile phoned and reversed the charge Coming all the way from India on a local barge [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Ol’ gorilla heard ’em talking in the lion’s den But Jo Jo bet him three bucks the elephant wins Jo Jo yelled at Leo Go on knock him down He don’t outweigh you but a thousand pounds [Verse 6] Leo left wailin’ with a left upper cut The elephant took his snoot and grabbed a coconut Leo fired a beautiful short back cross That’s when the coconut landed up against his jaw [Verse 7] Leo grew tired but he wouldn’t give in The elephant all loose beat his jawbone in The buzzard said they fought furious all day He couldn’t understand how Leo got away [Verse 8] Jo Jo runnin’ everywhere spreadin’ the news To the zebras and the leopards and the kangaroos A hoot owl reported everything he saw Had his eyes wide open they called it a draw [Guitar Solo] [Verse 9] Leo limping back with his jawbone bruised Jo Jo in the trees started singin’ the blues Laughin’ meddling jumpin’ up and down Till his foot missed a limb and he fell to the ground [Verse 10] Just like a bolt of thunder and a streak of heat Leo covered Jo Jo with all four feet Jo Jo was screamin’ with tears in his eyes Said please mister Leo I apologize [Verse 11] Said if you let my feet upon solid ground I’ll fight you close range fifteen rounds Leo got back to the square of the fight Jo Jo took a leap and jumped... out of sight [Outro]

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un singe espiègle, dans une jungle ancienne, qui s'amuse à provoquer un lion en lui racontant des histoires sur un éléphant. Cela entraîne une série de quiproquos et de combats inattendus, avec divers animaux venant assister à la scène. Le lion, vexé, se lance dans une bagarre avec l’éléphant, tandis que le singe, enjoué, continue de faire des paris sur le résultat du combat. À la fin, Jo Jo, le singe, se retrouve dans une situation délicate lorsqu'il est confronté au lion qu'il avait provoqué. Le contexte de cette chanson est léger et humoristique, représentant une sorte de fable où la félonie et l'arrogance du singe mènent à des conséquences inattendues, tout en montrant la nature fascinante des interactions animales. C'est une perspective amusante sur les rivalités et l'imprudence de se jouer des autres.
