The crew’s finally back
Performing for you
If you know all the words
You can sing with us too
Put your hands together
Make a round of applause
I swing to the beat
With these monkey paws
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (come on!)
DK Donkey Kong
DK Donkey Kong (come on!)
DK Donkey Kong
He’s the leader of the troup
You know the name well
Throw bananas; take names; kick tail
Many gonna fail when they test his team
Coconut cannon, and his necktie clean
Step in the arena to defeat the best
Known beat the odds like he beat his chest
Bigger, faster, stronger, too
He’s the OG member of the D-K Crew (uh!)
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (come on!)
DK Donkey Kong
DK Donkey Kong (come on!)
Donkey Kong is here!
This Kong got stylish and she’s full of surprises
‘Cause being strong come in all shapes and sizes
Rises with speed when she climb up trees
And floats with ease. Shrinks as smalls she pleases.
And move like she just don’t care
Skippin’ through the jungle
while she swing her hair (yeah!)
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (come on!)
Donkey Kong is here!
No style
No grace
And he’s not that handsome
But still earned a place on the D-K anthem
He got hands, son
That he know how to work with
The get you to the top
‘Cause for climbin’ their perfect
Now give it up for the handstanding Baboon
Blowin’ up like balloons, time to sing that tune
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (Come on)
Donkey Kong is here!
Strapped with his popguns
Yo, you know he’s fly
Jet pack on his back
Soaring through the sky (Uh)
Kremlings beware ‘cause he made his return
And he got time today if you got lessons to learn
Teach you a thing or two on how to swing with the greats
All while playing a tune with a smile on his face.
Sing it!
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (Come on)
Donkey Kong is here!
Last member of the DK crew is now here
Aww yeah! When he simian slam the crowd cheers
Kremlings throw tantrums
While he’s throwing boulders
Crush rocks to dust,
He is no push over
Though he move slower, and low when he jumps
Lights out when he’s serving up a primate punch
That’s all, that’s it,
The whole crew’s too strong
Now everybody join in,
Help us, sing along
[chorus]
DK Donkey Kong (Come on)
DK Donkey Kong
DK Donkey Kong (Come on)
Donkey Kong is here
OUTRO
Donkey Kong in the place to be,
Diddy Kong in the place to be
They in the place with me
Tiny Kong in the place to be,
Lanky Kong in the place to be
They in the place with me
Chunky Kong in the place with be,
Cranky Kong in the place with be
They in the place with me
All night long in the place with me,
Rock on in the space with me
We in the place to be.
(Yeah)
