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.
ı’m a tiger when ı want love,
but ı’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.
ıs it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
thunder and lightning couldn’t be bolder.
ı’ll write on your tombstone, ı 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.
ı’m a tiger when ı want love,
but ı’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.
