Electric Light Orchestra – Jungle lyrics
I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
But what`s that going on, I think I`m outta my head
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

A hundred animals were gathered `round in the night
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled:
"Come join us if you so desire."

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

And they danced!
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley.

"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
