Verse 2

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

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
