Jungle Boy

This song is based on a song from the South African group, the Mahotella Queens. The song - Umculo Kawupheli (No End To Music)- can be found on the compilation "Soweto Never Sleeps: Classic Women Zulu Jive." Bow Wow Wow takes the original lyrics and phoentically transposes them (if that makes sense?) into English. This either explains why the lyrics make no sense whatsoever, OR that Bow Wow Wow are complete geniuses.

These lyrics are not accurate. You have done a great disservice to a magnificent song...

<<Sir Jungle, sir Jungle, sir Jungle, sir Jungle>> SEE JUNGLE, SEE JUNGLE...CITY ALL OVER GO APE CRAZY! (it was the name of the album - DUH !)

Many other wrongly heard lyrics here. Kierra did a half-baked job - sorry but it's true.

Those who are not worthy of citing the timeless prophecies of our beloved Annabella Lwin should not attempt to do so.

The Lyrics as transcribed above are prevalent over the web. I found the following lyrics on the site www.lyrics007.com I don't know if they are 100% correct, but I think they come close.

See jungle, see jungle, see jungle, see jungle

Jungle boy don't fear, jungle boy come near

See jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
Jungle boy I view, jungle boy come through
In the jungle, I love a rumble, he's the fat guy, he's the bad guy
When the city turns to rubble

See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
In the jungle, I love a rumble with my boyfriend
He's a fad now, he's so bad now, he understands
When the city turns to rubble, ooh the trouble
City all over going crazy, going crazy, so let your body do the talking, going crazy
City all over going crazy, going crazy, I love jungle boy, going crazy, I love jungle boy, going crazy

See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
See Jungle, see jungle, go join your gang, yeah, city all over, go ape crazy
In the jungle, I love a rumble
He's a fad now; he's so bad now
When the city turns to rubble
He's a fad now, he's so bad now
When the city turns to rubble

City all over go ape crazy, go ape crazy, I love jungle boy, go ape crazy, I love jungle boy, go ape crazy

¡VIVA ANNABELLA !

Annabella herself corroborates my lyrical upgrade - circa 2012 !

I just found her again - still belting it out on YouTube 30 years later. Pretty good - for a BUDDHIST ☺

Well you made it THIS far - so if you STILL love the song Jungle Boy check this:

And thanks to Mambo Man for the idea!

McLaren ripped this music off wholesale from the Mahotella Queens - the dirty rat! (He stole that song, plus lots of others.) Not the band's fault, I still think they were all great musicians who worked good together as a band.

MM always loved controversy. There's a version of this song whose lyrics go "Jungle Boy don't fear / the laws are different here / Jungle Boy come here / the laws are different here" - McLaren could be such a creep!
