Lyrics
Let me tell ya about a place I know
Introduction to a place the speaker knows
And it don't take much dough
Emphasizing it doesn't require much money
Where you can really do your thing
Describing a place to express oneself freely
Got a "men only" sign outside
Indicating it's for men only
Come in, take a look at your mind
Encouraging to explore one's mind
You'd be surprised at what you find
Suggesting surprising discoveries within
Screaming guitars and
Depicting a lively environment with guitars and strobe lights
Strobe lights gettin' down
-People come in there
-From all parts of town
-Move, move, move to the beat of the jungle groove
Encouraging movement to the beat of the jungle groove
I said, move, move, move to the beat of the jungle groove
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
Repeated emphasis on the location, "Psychedelic Shack"
Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-Stranded in the jungle, and I got no place to hide
Describing the jungle as dangerous, with references to witch doctors and medicine men
The jungle is so dangerous, there's evil in their minds
-Witch doctors are cannibals, the rhythm drives you insane
-Medicine man has something to take away the pain
-Move, so move, so move to the beat of the jungle groove
Continued encouragement to move to the jungle groove
I said, move, move, move to the beat of the jungle groove
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
Reiteration of the significance of "Psychedelic Shack"
Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-Psychedelic Shack, that's where it's at
-I'm a lover, not a fighter
Declaring the speaker's identity as a lover, teacher, and singer
Teacher, not a preacher
-Singer, not a swinger
-So move to the beat, c'mon!
Encouraging others to move to the beat
Move, so move, so move to the beat of the jungle groove
Repeating the call to move to the jungle groove
I said, move, move, move to the beat of the jungle groove
-Jungle beat chacha, jungle beat chacha
Adding a rhythmic element with "Jungle beat chacha"
Jungle beat chacha, jungle beat chacha
-Put on your mask, pick up your spear
Imagery of putting on a mask, picking up a spear, and jungle beat chacha
A ring in your nose, a diamond in your ear
-Jungle beat chacha, jungle beat chacha
-Jungle beat chacha, jungle beat chacha
Continuation of the jungle beat chacha theme
