One day Tarzan said to Jane while they were walking through the garden
|
'One thing I must explain before we go much farther'
|
'I know you'd like a bright new dress with a bright new yellow linin'
|
'But every time you want one darlin', I got to fight a lion'.
|
|
And it's a jungle out there
|
It's a jungle out there
|
There ain't no way around it
|
At least I've never found it
|
It's a jungle out there
|
It's a jungle out there.
|
|
Way back in the city, where the city people smile
|
Whenever they need a new pair of shoes, they don't kill no crocodile
|
And when the nighttime falls around them, they stay in their hotels
|
But out here, darlin', when the night time comes, there's nothin' to do but yell.
|
|
'Cause it's a jungle out there
|
You better say a prayer
|
Even if they eat you
|
And eventually they will
|
It's a jungle out there, ooh, you know.
|
|
One day Tarzan said to Jane?: 'I want to talk to you about the boy'
|
'He's been actin' very strange lately, he thinks a tool's a toy'
|
'Why only yesterday while I was out there fixin' up the vine'
|
'He said: 'Dad, I'm gonna take a swing' - but he grabbed a hold of my vine, ow.
|
|
It's a jungle out there
|
Hey, you better beware
|
There ain't no way around it
|
At least I've never found it
|
It's a jungle out there
|
It's a jungle out there.
|
|
Now the moral of this story is if you end up out there too
|
Think of all them snakes you might have snaken up on you
|
But on the other hand, my darlin', you don't have to care
|
'Cause no matter how far, no matter how long, no matter how cold or fair
|
High or low, up or down, it's still a jungle out there.
|
|
It's a jungle out there
|
It's a jungle out there
|
There ain't no way around it
|
At least I've never found it
|
'Cause it's a jungle out there.
