Jungle

I was standing in the jungle

I was feeling alright

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

I was wandering in the darkness

In the middle of the night

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

The moon began to shine

I saw a clearing ahead

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

But what's that going on

I think I'm outta my head

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

Chooka chooka, hoo la ley

Looka looka, koo la ley

A hundred animals were

Gathered round this night

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

And they were singin' out

A lovely song under the pale moonlight

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm

I stood and stared for quite a while

Then a 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

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

Mmhmm, mmhmm."

"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 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

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...
