Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here comes the jungle man
Good Lord
[Verse 2]
I'm the jungle man
That's what I am
I'm the jungle man
That's what I am
[Verse 3]
In the jungle I'm the king
I'm the jungle man
He's the jungle man
I'm the jungle man
He's the jungle man
[Verse 4]
Got my home, don't need to roam
The jungle is where I live
Peace and love and harmony
Is what I have to give
[Verse 5]
I'm friends with the monkey
I'm friends with the bird
I'm close with the lion
They all got the word
[Verse 6]
I'm the jungle man
That's what I am
[Verse 7]
In the jungle I'm the king
I'm the jungle man
He's the jungle man
I'm the jungle man
He's the jungle man
[Verse 8]
Get it!
Uh, black and white, full of stripes
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Black and white, full of stripes
[Verse 9]
I'm the jungle man
That's what I am
Oh, I'm the jungle man
That's what I am
