I'm King Kong and I'm ten feet long, 
Got a big six gun and everybody is scared. 
I'm King Kong, got a hydrogen bomb, 
I can blow up your houses so you better beware. 

Everybody wants power, 
Everybody wants fame. 
Everybody wants money. 
La-la-la-la-la, King Kong. 
La-la-la-la-la, 
Little man's weak and big man's strong, 
Everyone wants to be King Kong, oh yeah. 

I'm King Kong, I got so much money, 
I can buy anybody who gets in my path. 
I'm King Kong, and I'm big and strong, 
I can blow up your houses so you better beware. 

Everybody wants power, 
Everybody wants fame. 
Everybody wants money. 
La-la-la-la-la, King Kong. 
La-la-la-la-la, 
Little man's weak and big man's strong, 
Everyone wants to be King Kong, oh yeah. 

I'm King Kong and I'm ten feet long, 
Got a big six gun and everybody is scared. 
I'm King Kong, got a hydrogen bomb, 
I can blow up your houses so you better beware. 

Everybody wants power, 
Everybody wants fame. 
Everybody wants money. 
La-la-la-la-la, King Kong. 
La-la-la-la-la, 
Little man's weak and big man's strong, 
Everyone wants to be King Kong, oh yeah.
