Just after Bluster Kong starts running away with his copy of Bluebeard Baboon's curse letter, the scene immediately transitions to General Klump and Krusha still in their spellbound states while King K.

English[edit]

With this book of spells, I will unleash an ancient power
I can cause disaster, bring down mountains or make flowers
All the gators in the land will rejoice and sing
When I make the apes of Kongo Bongo puppets on a string

They'll be spellbound and in my power
I'll shrink them down to size and then I'll swat them all like flies

Donkey Kong will file my claws, I'll make him oil my feet
I'll turn bananas into cheese; there'll be nothing left to eat
I'll freeze Cranky's hologram and then I'll stuff him in a jar
I'll use him as a nightlight on the wall in my boudoir

Ruler of the universe, I feel so sublime
I'll pull out my stick and make them limbo a thousand times!

They'll be spellbound and in my power
I'll shrink them down to size and then I'll swat them all like flies
They'll be spellbound, they'll run for cover
I'll turn them into big-eared mice, it won't be very nice!

French lyrics Translation

Avec cette formule magique, je vais faire un malheur
Je transporterai les montagnes et ferai pousser des fleurs
Tous les sauriens se réjouiront et chanteront sur cette île
Je ferai danser les singes comme des marionnettes au bout d'un fil

Je les ferai taire, ils seront envoûtés
Je les rétrécirai et les écraserai comme des mouches

Donkey Kong limera mes griffes et me huilera les pieds
Les bananes seront en fromage, y a rien d'autre à manger
L'hologramme du vieux Cranky sera coincé dans un bocal
Et je l'accrocherai au mur pour éclairer mon journal

Maître de l'univers, je gouverne comme un roi
D'un coup de baguette magique, je les ferai ramper devant moi

Je les ferai taire, ils seront envoûtés
Je les rétrécirai et les écraserai comme des mouches
Ils voudront fuir, ils seront terrifiés
Je les transformerai en souris vertes, ils auront l'air bien louches

With this magical formula, I'll cause a stir
I will move mountains and make flowers bloom
All saurians will rejoice and sing on this island
I'll make the apes dance like puppets on a string

I will silence them, they'll be spellbound
I'll shrink them and crush them like flies

Donkey Kong will file my claws and oil my feet
Bananas will turn into cheese, there's nothing else to eat
Old Cranky's hologram will be stuck in a jar
And I'll hang it on the wall to light up my newspaper

Master of the universe, I rule like a king
With a wave of my magic wand, I'll make them grovel to me

I will silence them, they'll be spellbound
I'll shrink them and crush them like flies
They'll want to flee, they'll be terrified
I'll turn them into green mice, they'll look pretty shady
