Bungle in the Jungle Songtext
von Jethro Tull

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

Well, let′s bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
Well, I'm a tiger when I want love
But I′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
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn′t be bolder
I'll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner
This game that we animals play is a winner


Well, let′s bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
I′m a tiger when I want love
I'm a snake if we disagree, yes

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And he who made kittens put snakes in their grasp
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

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
I′m a tiger when I want love
And I′m a snake when we disagree, yes

Let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that′s all right by me, yes
Well, I'm a tiger when I want love
I′m a snake when we disagree

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that′s all right by me, yes
I'm a tiger when I want love
