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!"
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.
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."
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
We sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.
That sails around the might sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

I've always believed that, at the end, the bell that rings is an alarm clock, meaning the whole thing is a dream. There's a nice echo of the chorus after the bell, which is like remembering a fragment of your dream when you wake up.
Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along
Where's the love for jungle? Such a fun song to groove to!
wvhillrunner's quote pretty much is the meaning.
Though it takes a dream-state to realize, 'dumb' animals have a simple & better perspective about life on Earth than we.
This is one of favorites off of "Out of the Blue"-I LOVE the clapping&stomping part.LOL it has nothing to do with lyrics!
