Jungle Songtext
von Electric Light Orchestra

I was standin′ in the jungle, I was feeling alright, mm-hm, mm-hm
I was wanderin' in the darkness in the middle of the night, mm-hm, mm-hm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead, mm-hm, mm-hm
But what′s that goin' on? I think I'm out of my head, mm-hm, mm-hm

Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley

A hundred animals were gathered ′round this night, mm-hm, mm-hm
And they were singin′ out a lovely song under the pale moonlight, mm-hm, mm-hm
I stood and stared for quite a while, then a lion sang to me and smiled
"Come join us if you so desire"

They sang, "Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley"
That's what they sang
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley
And then turned away
Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley
That′s what they sang
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley


I said, "Now, please, explain the meaning of this song you sing", mm-hm, mm-hm
"Wondrous is our great Blue Ship that sails around the mighty Sun
And joy to everyone that rides along"

Oh, they sang, "Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley"
That's what they sang
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley
Oh, that′s nice
And they danced

Pretty soon I knew the tune
And we sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

They sang, "Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley"
That's what they sang
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley
And then turned away
Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley
That′s what they sang
Looka-looka, koo-la-ley

Wondrous is our great Blue Ship
That sails around the mighty Sun
Joy to everyone that rides along
