Jungle Blues

"That's right folks, who knows what strange wonders awaits our expeditioners

On this journey to the dark corners of the globe, for this scientific purpose,..."

"Uh, excuse me sir, there's been a problem with the boat. Ship's engineer wants to see you at once"

"Quieten down man. We sail by midnight"

And I went off sailing for the Congo

In a sloop called the Mississippi Song-o

Now I'm here singing them jungle blues

In a shipwreck, way out on the ocean

Swimming blind, lord, praying and hoping

I washed up singing them jungle blues

Can't you hear them Jungle Drums thumpin'?

Buddy, that's what gets my heart to jumpin'

It ain't nothin' but them jungle blues

And the monkeys, goin' pitter-patter

In the darkness, my teeth begin to chatter

There ain't no cure for them jungle blues
