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!"
