It was deep in the Jungles of Africa
* /dim /
Where the bugs is thick as fleas
And the heat will drive sane men crazy
And the water's full o' disease
I went out walkin with a beautiful girl
Where the spotted honeysteppers fly
We lay down under the bamboo trees
I sang that Jungle Lullaby Oh
Sing-------ing,
Swi----ngin, on a
Lazy afternoon in paradise
Croo---nin,
Swoo---nin. That
* Fdim7 [Abm7]-5 [Em7]
Old time song, where the days are long,
It's a Jungle Lullaby
Well we made it down to a riverbank,
Spied a steamboat comin along,
Then we hitched a ride, lawd, lookin over the side,
Everything was goin on wrong,
There was bird-eatin spiders, big as my fist,
Snakes that hung down like vines
And eyes that watched as we drifted along ,
I sang that Jungle Lullaby
Singin, swingin,
On a lazy afternoon in paradise
Croonin, swoonin,
That old time song, where the days are long,
It's a Jungle Lullaby
(Just repeat chorus for the rest of the song)
Bom bow domp
Bomp ow domp ay ohh
lay dat omp
Folks you know, when we got back into town that night,
there was excitement in the air.
I heard there was a party over at the Officers Club,
so I took that girl on over,
man, we walked in the joint,
orchestra playin so sweet I thought I'd die.
I got up on that old bandstand,
sang that Jungle Lullaby.
Singin, swingin,
On a lazy afternoon in paradise
Croonin, swoonin,
That old time song, where the days are long,
It's a Jungle Lullaby
