      Jam version  


I am the king of the jungle
They call me the tiger man
I am the king of the jungle
They call me tiger man
If you cross my path
You take your own life in your hands


* Yeh, I get up on a mountain
And I call my black cat back
Yeh, I get up on a mountain
And I call my black cat back
My black cat comes a runnin'
And the hound dogs get way back


* Repeat
