Bungle in the Jungle: An Animalistic Dance of Love and Discord
Lyrics
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Describing a jungle with palm tree apartments.
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents

Eating their nuts

Saving their raisins for Sunday
Saving raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers

Who wait in the shadows
Lions and tigers waiting in shadows.
They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows
Fast but lazy, sleeping in meadows.
Let's bungle in the jungle
Proposing to "bungle in the jungle."
Well, that's all right by me
Expressing acceptance of the proposal.
I'm a tiger when I want love

But I'm a snake if we disagree
