Ricky Nelson - Carl of the Jungle lyrics

rate me

(B. Bramblett)

A man went to Africa to meet with the primitive

The man was very brave and not afraid

Didn't come there to enslave anyone.

And it scared him, and though it sacred him

His intuition told him he'd better go

Back to Vienna

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back.)

Now the man was eager to find out all about the primitive mind

He was very sensitive, was very patient

Realised that he was looking into a mirror at himself.

And it scared him, and though it sacred him

His intuition told him he'd better go

Back to Vienna

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back.)

Now he asked the native wise men, what do your dreams tell you now

They said "Since the white man came we're no longer able to dream

The white man knows it all."

And that scared him, and though it sacred him

He began havin' dreams himself that told him he'd better go

Back to Vienna

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back.)

Now he thought about the primitive mind

And he read about the ancient times

But when he slipped back a few thousand years

And his heart locked up

He realizd it was powerful stuff.

And it scared him, you know it sacred him

His intuition told him he'd better go

Back to Vienna

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back.)

Back to the white man

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back)

Back to Vienna

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back)

Up North

(Go back, go back)

(Go back, go back...)
