Bungle in the Jungle
Bungle in the Jungle: A Wild Tale of Love and Discord
Lyrics
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Observing the urbanized areas resembling natural habitats
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Mocking those living in seclusion
Down by the waterhole
Close to a gathering place
Drunk every Friday
Frequently intoxicated on Fridays
Eating their nuts
Consuming basic sustenance
Saving their raisins for Sunday
Reserving special treats for another day
Lions and tigers
Referencing powerful predators
Who wait in the shadows
Waiting in hiding
They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows
Swift but indolent, resting in serene fields
Let's bungle in the jungle
Proposing to cause chaos in nature
Well, that's all right by me
Accepting and consenting to the proposed chaos
I'm a tiger when I want love
Expressing aggression for affection
But I'm a snake if we disagree
Being cunning when facing opposition
Just say a word and the boys will be right there
Offering assistance upon request
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Ready to defend, inducing fear
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Questioning the fear of proximity
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder
Describing powerful natural phenomena
I'll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner
Metaphorically claiming gratitude for a situation
This game that we animals play is a winner
Referring to the competitive nature of existence
Let's bungle in the jungle
Reiterating the desire for chaos in nature
Well, that's all right by me
Reiterating acceptance of proposed chaos
I'm a tiger when I want love
Expressing aggression for affection (repeated)
But I'm a snake if we disagree
Being cunning when facing opposition (repeated)
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
Highlighting dangerous creatures in rivers
He who made kittens put snakes in the grass
Implies that the creator of lovable things also introduced treachery
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns
Depicting a figure enjoying life but manipulating others
The King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
Symbolic reference to a powerful entity awaiting change
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
Describing a cycle of events in nature
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune
Portraying readiness for action
Let's bungle in the jungle
Reiterating the desire for chaos in nature (repeated)
Well, that's all right by me
Reiterating acceptance of proposed chaos (repeated)
I'm a tiger when I want love
Expressing aggression for affection (repeated)
But I'm a snake if we disagree
Being cunning when facing opposition (repeated)
