Welcome To The Jungle Lyrics

Welcome to the jungle, Jim
Welcome to the jungle, Jim
Welcome to it, Jim

Welcome to the jungle, Anne
Welcome to the jungle, Dan
Welcome to it, John

Think you're gonna like
I think you're gonna like it
Once you've given the jungle a chance
Think you're gonna like it
Once you've given it a chance

In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle

Now you will be with me
Put your hand in my hand
Lift up the rock and see all the things
That share the jungle with us

Welcome to the
Welcome to the
Trees
Trees

Push me in the face again
Push me in the face again
Push me in the face

Push me in the face again
Push me in the face again
Push me in the face

Didn't really like
I didn't really like
The last time when you pushed me in the face
Didn't really like
The last time when you pushed my face

In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle

Now you will be with me
Put your hand in my hand
Lift up the rock and see all the things
That live in the jungle with us

Put your hand near the bug
We are so much like them
See how the bug reacts to your hand
In the same way as I do

This is such a good song!! I have a theory connecting this song and another TMBG song "Music Jail pt. 1 & 2" https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107859504839/ The jungle IS music jail and vice versa. It's all a big symbol for getting in over your head with the music industry. I think the singer is trying to get others to join his band, but at the time, he's kind of a mess. It's almost as if his life is.. a jungle. WOAH! He tries to convince them that music life is great and totally worth it, but they're kinda like weirded out by him. As they should be, comparing yourself to a bug is kind of weird. This music industry thing seems to be a common theme in TMBG songs (Cyclops Rock, Welcome To The Jungle).
