Concrete Jungle Songtext
von Joe South

When mornin′ rolls around
I catch a bus downtown
To that same old job
It's a jungle out there
And nobody seems to care
In the rat race mob

But when things start buggin′ me
I just stop and think of you, then suddenly
The concrete jungle become paradise

I punch my little card
And I work so very hard
For such a little pay
And from nine o'clock 'til five
Nobody cares if I′m alive
But now that′s okay

'Cause when the sun goes down in the west
And I run to meet the one that I love the best
The concrete jungle become paradise


But any place is Heaven
Just as long as you are by my side
No matter what the future holds
I′ll always be satisfied

So let 'em push me around
And try to put me down
Until five o′clock
Mm-mm, I can grin and bear
'Cause I know you′re waitin' there
Just down the block

And baby, baby
When I feel your warm embrace
You just make this world one wonderful place
And the concrete jungle become paradise
Oh, yeah

So when I feel your warm embrace
You just make this world one big, wonderful place
And the concrete jungle become paradise
Yeah, and the concrete jungle become paradise
Bringin' hope to this place
And the concrete jungle become paradise
