It's Carl Denham's Fault
Carl Denham, you have done a dirty deed.
You brought that big gorilla to New York out of greed.
That "eighth wonder of the world" would make you money.
However, what he did certainly was not funny.
Kong broke loose from his chains during the show.
He fled the theater, and off he would go.
With him, he carried pretty Ann Darrow.
Kong quickly headed for the Empire State Building.
Along the way, that huge ape did his thing.
He wrecked a train, and plenty of people he was killing.
As he climbed that building, he caused trouble to say the least.
It took a lot of airplanes to shoot down that beast.
There was a lot of relief after that gorilla was dead.
Denham, get this into your incredibly dense head:
Having that ape in this city was not considered fun.
Don't you dare go back to Africa to get another one!
Based on the 1933 film "King Kong"
