A great bear in the woods wants all he sees
From the snakes in the grass to the chimpanzees
We all know it ain't fair, it's a jungle out there
So go bang your drum, Mr Big Baboon
What monkey see monkey will do
Boom boom boom boom, Mr Big Baboon

Mad dog on the prowl sees the bear in the trees
They can never be friends, they're natural enemies
So you better beware, it's a jungle out there

So go bang your drum, Mr Big Baboon

Mr Big Baboon sees the dog and bear
It's a three way tie, it's a stalemate there
Facin' off eye to eye, it's a jungle out there

So bang your drum, Mr Big Baboon
You can all join in, monkey see monkey do
Boom boom boom boom, Mr Big Baboon!
