I was walking through the jungle just the other night
When I heard a big rumble and I thought it was a fight
I lost all volition and began to move my feet
It was a jungle drummer doing a knock down beat
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
A knock down beat and a chucked down set
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Well I moved a little closer just to get a better view
I saw a chimp and a monkey getting in a taxi queue
A hippo Jurassic Park we'll do it on the hop
Well the big big bounce was making me hop
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
And a knock down beat with a hip hop on my feet
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
And the fox grabbed the rabbit and they did the bunny hug
And all the beasts standing were cutting a rug
And the camel was talking to a special contibutor
And the elephant and the monkey did the ring dang do
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
Shot down beat and a hip hop on my feet
It was a jungle jungle jungle jungle rock
I was walking through the jungle just the other night
And the blues songs were pumping it white

On a midnight run
With the M16
And the Ingram gun
We parachute in
We parachute out
"Death from above"
We're screaming now
Where the pay is good
And the risk is high
It's understood
We'll do or die
Sten gun in hand
Where the gun is law
From Ovamboland
To Nicaragua
Strength and muscle and jungle work
Three young men
In a Russian truck
With a little Mac10
Sent 'em running to the huts
A few young men
The few who dare
To battle in hell

When the circle finally formed you called me up
the only one making a sound
I can't work out what I want to see
I bury my thoughts in the ground
All the seeds you sow
are just looking for a space to grow
So sleep, sleep and lay your white body down
So sleep, sleep and lay your white body down
No matter what you do it all returns to you
No matter what you say you'll hear it all someday
No matter what you do it all returns to you
No matter what you say you'll hear it all someday
No matter what you do it all returns to you
