A Royal Coon 1907

In me you see the greatest man
who ever held full sway;
in Zulu land, where I reside,
I'm monarch in a way
I rule the folks
control the courts
and do just as I choose,
I have entertaining subjects
at my house to cure the blues
My great granddad never lived like that
he was a real baboon,
but my father was king of his whole tribe
that makes me a royal coon.

I am a royal coon, royal coon,
I hail from Mataloon, Mataloon
If there's a doubt about it
I'll prove my ancestry,
cut down my family tree, family tree
look up my pedigree, pedigree,
And you will find out soon
I am a royal coon.

I am a royal coon, royal coon,
I hail from Mataloon, Mataloon
If there's a doubt about it
I'll prove my ancestry,
cut down my family tree, family tree
look up my pedigree, pedigree,
And you will find out soon
I am a royal coon.

Now my old dad, 'most all his life,
did save up each old sou,
and once a year, to please himself,
he'd paint the Zulus blue
Now I've made up for ev'rything
the old man left undone,
I give dinners ev'ry day or so
and have all kinds of fun,
On Sundays I have elephant fried
and served by kangaroos,
and always for the finishing touch,
rhinoceros barbecue.

I am a royal coon, royal coon,
I hail from Mataloon, Mataloon
If there's a doubt about it
I'll prove my ancestry,
cut down my family tree, family tree
look up my pedigree, pedigree,
And you will find out soon
I am a royal coon.

I am a royal coon, royal coon,
I hail from Mataloon, Mataloon
If there's a doubt about it
I'll prove my ancestry,
cut down my family tree, family tree
look up my pedigree, pedigree,
And you will find out soon
I am a royal coon.
