Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows

Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder
I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner''
This game that we animals play is a winner

Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love,but I'm a snake if we disagree

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle
as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune
