| Lyrics |
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole --- drunk every friday ---
Eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.I'm a tiger when I want love,
But I'm a snake if we disagree.
Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.I'll write on your tombstone, `
`i thank you for dinner.’’
This game that we animals play is a winner.
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.I'm a tiger when I want love,
But I'm a snake if we disagree.
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And he who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
Yes, the king on his sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up his jungle
As play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
