Jungle

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 outta my head

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

Looka looka, koo la ley

A hundred animals were gathered round this night

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

And they were singin' out a lovely song under the pale moonlight

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

I stood and stared for quite a while, the lion sang to me and smiled

"Come join us, if you so desire"

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

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

They sang

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

That's what they sang

Looka looka, koo la ley

And then they danced

Pretty soon, I knew the tune and we sat and sang under the moon

And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

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

Wondrous is our great blue ship that sails around the mighty sun

And joy to everyone that rides along

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
