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!"
