New York Dolls

Stranded in the Jungle

I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date

With my little girl who was back in the States

I was stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone

Trying to figure a way to get a message back home

But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane

Had been picked up and spotted and my girl in Lover's Lane

Meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance

You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance

He's stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be

So come on pretty baby, just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

The boys in the jungle had me on the run

When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb

When I woke up and my head started to clear

I had a strange feeling I was cooking gear

I smelled something cooking and I looked to see

That's when I found out they was cookin' me

Ooga booga, lemme outta here!

Meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance

You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance

He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be

So come on pretty baby just you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

I jumped out of the pot, I finally got away

I was frantic, worried about what my baby would say

So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim

My chance of surviving was gettin' slim

So I thumbed down a whale that was headed my way

And I reached the States in about half a day

When I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead

Heard him talkin' to my baby, and this is what he said

Baby, baby, the man's no good

Baby, baby, should have understood

You can trust me just as long as you please

So come back pretty baby where you used to be

Cause I love you (I love you, I love you, you're fine baby)

Cause I love you (So damn fine)

Cause I love you (I got a job; I have money too)

Cause I love you (Did I show you my vehicle)

Cause I love you (I'll take you for a ride)

Cause I love you
