Electric Light Orchestra Jungle Lyrics

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.

       CHORUS: 
       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."

       REPEAT CHORUS

      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!"

       REPEAT CHORUS

      AND THEY DANCED!!!

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

       REPEAT CHORUS

       REPEAT CHORUS

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