Loading...

o-lay-eeeeeee
o-lay-ee-ee-ee
o-de-o-lay-ee-oh-oh
o-da-lay-eee

i was over in africa minin’ for gold
o-ooh, minin’ for gold
come along a big lion, caught me in my hole
o-de-lay-eee, caught me in my hole

the lion said “buddy, you plumb outta luck”
o-da-lay-eee, you plumb outta luck
made a lunch for me, lawd, i had to duck
o-de-lay-eee, i had to duck

i jabbed that lion right clean in the jaw
o-ooh, right clean in the jaw
picked up his tail, dragged him cross the floor
o-de-lay-eee, dragged him cross the floor

i chained him up in the back of my truck
o-ooh, in the back of my truck
said, “what’s that you had to say about luck?”
o-de-lay-eee, that you said about luck

the first place i took him was ten miles away
o-ooh, ten miles away
told the people, “listen what this lion can say”
o-de-lay-eee, what this lion can say

the lion looked round, he started to cry
o-ooh, he started to cry
said, “this man punched me and he blackened my eye”
o-da-lay-eee, and he blackened my eye

the people got angry, they started to shout
o-da-lay-ee-ee-ee-eee
lion said, “that’s what i was talkin’ about”
o-de-lay-eee, oh-oh, lawd, lawd

they hauled me up the courthouse stairs
o-ooh, up the courthouse stairs
the judge was a monkey in an old wicker chair
o-de-lay-eee, in an old wicker chair

the monkey said, “guilty”, and the people all cheered
o-ooh, and the people all cheered
he slammed his gavel, said “twenty five years”
o-da-lay-eee, said twenty five years

i’m in africa wearin a ball and chain
o-de-lay-ee, a ball and chain
i’ll never mess with a talkin’ lion again
o-ooh, talkin’ lion again
