In the Jungle

歌詞

In the jungle, at the hour of midnight, That's when the animals come out to play. High in the treetops, creatures are swinging. Chattering gaily, they seem to shout. "Try and catch us -- we're way too nimble." It's the monkeys, dancing about. Chorus Now the large cats are joining the party. First comes the cheetah, the fastest of all. Next is the tiger, the lynx, then the leopard. They prowl through the jungle and they give their call. Chorus Into the clearing, quiet and graceful Comes a tall spotted creature and her baby calf. Her legs are slender, her long neck is turning. She towers above them all -- the tall giraffe. Chorus Slithering slowly, scales on their bodies. Long and slender, they crawl on the ground. Tongues a-darting, wiggling gaily, The snakes join the party, but they don't make a sound. Chorus Into the clearing comes a large gray creature. The ground is shaking as he starts to run Round in a circle with his long trunk waving. It's the elephant, joining the fun. Chorus Off in the shadows, still and quiet, His long mane is flowing and he's standing tall. When he's angry, he'll roar like thunder. It's the lion and he's king of them all. Chorus
