Song Lyrics[]
Chorus
Deep in the jungle
(ooga chuga ooga chuga)
Jungle, jungle (ooga chuga ooga chuga)
Deep in the jungle
(ooga chuga ooga chuga)
Jungle, jungle
If you're a tiger shake your paws
If you're a lion give a mighty roar
Or like an elephant you sway
Or like a bird you could just fly away
Chorus
You can slither like a snake
Or go swimming in the deep blue lake
Or go marching down the path
Or run along like a tall giraffe
Chorus
If you're a tiger shake your paws
If you're a lion give a mighty roar
Or like an elephant you sway
Or like a bird you could just fly away
Chorus

- The Ooga Chugga Part could have been borrowed from Blue Swede's version of "Hooked on a Feeling"
