Jungle

[Verse 1]

I was standing in the jungle

I was feeling alright

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

I was wandering in the darkness

In the middle of the night

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

The moon began to shine

I saw a clearing ahead

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

But what's that going on?

I think I'm out of my head

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

[Chorus]

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

Looka looka, koo la ley

[Verse 2]

A hundred animals

Were gathered 'round this night

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

And they were singing out a lovely song

Under the pale moonlight

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

I stood and stared for quite a while

Then a lion sang to me and smiled

"Come and join us if you so desire"

[Chorus]

(They sang)

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

(That's what they sang)

Looka looka, koo la ley

(And they turned away)

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

(That's what they sang)

Looka looka, koo la ley

[Verse 3]

I said, "Now please explain the meaning

Of this song you sing"

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

"Wondrous is our great blue ship

That sails around the mighty sun

And joy to everyone that rides along!"

[Chorus]

(Oh, they sang)

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

(That's what they sang)

Looka looka, koo la ley

[Interlude]

(Ah, that's nice)

(And they danced!)

[Verse 4]

Pretty soon, I knew the tune

And we sat and sang under the moon

And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

[Chorus]

(They sang)

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

(That's what they sang)

Looka looka, koo la ley

(And they turned away)

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

(That's what they sang)

Looka looka, koo la ley

[Outro]

Wondrous is our great blue ship

That sails around the mighty sun

And joy to everyone that rides along!

(Chooka chooka, hoo la ley)
