JETHRO TULL - Bungle In The Jungle lyrics

rate me

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---<br>Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents<br>Down by the waterhole --- drunk every friday ---<br>Eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for sunday.<br>Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---<br>They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.<br>Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.<br>I'm a tiger when I want love,<br>But I'm a snake if we disagree.<br><br>Just say a word and the boys will be right there:<br>With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.<br>Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? <br>Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.<br>I'll write on your tombstone, ``i thank you for dinner.''<br>This game that we animals play is a winner.<br><br>Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.<br>I'm a tiger when I want love,<br>But I'm a snake if we disagree.<br><br>The rivers are full of crocodile nasties<br>And he who made kittens put snakes in the grass.<br>He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---<br>Yes, the king on his sunset lies waiting for dawn<br>To light up his jungle<br>As play is resumed.<br>The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
