lyrics

Spoke to the man who knew so much
He left no fingerprints he had no touch
And he spoke too much

Spoke of his plan and he made it seem do grand
Pulled out a calculator, turned on a lamp
Here comes a colourful graph

Golden silence please
Cause talk is cheap round here
Elephant with trunk
Takes a gigantic dump
King Kong, King Kong
King Kong, King Kong

Malcolm and Martin and Muhameed Ali
He spoke to Alla, his cousin and me
Oh and it dug down deep
The search for greatness has now become sport
He's got Mahovlich to Shutt to Lafleur
And he shoots and he scores

Sugar coated lump
Bruins take the cup
Elephant with tusk
Does not give a…

King Kong, King Kong
King Kong, King Kong
