George Gobel In the Jungle Lyrics:
[Spoken:] Hey, whatcha doin', Chip?
Playin' your guitar, is that whatchyer doin'?
Sounds good. Hey, Chip, let's us kids get together,
And make a record. That'd be good. I got a song here,
It's not the greatest thing since the lightnin' rod,
But it's, it's kinda cute, you know.
[Sung:] There been a man in Hollywood a long, long time.
He lives in the jungle and he swings from a vine.
a-He's just a man like you and me.
The jungle is a Hollywood set, you see.
He lives in the tree house and eats wild grapes.
And the natives all call him, Tarzan of the Apes.
((In the jungle, in the jungle.))
Early one mornin' when the sun begin to shine,
Tarzan left his tree house swingin' from a vine.
All of a sudden Jane heard a loud thud,
Looked out and saw Tarzan lyin' in the mud,
a-Moanin' and a-cryin' and a-sound like he was dyin'.
Found some monkey greased his grapevine.
((In the jungle, in the jungle.))
Cheetah, he was havin' troubles of his own.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
He'd gone to meet Tarzan and he just left home.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/jIq7 ]Swingin' through the trees on a bunch of grapevines,
Hands over hand and was doin' just fine,
Then he grabbed a grapevine slicker'n glass.
Zoom, he come down and landed in the grass.
((In the jungle, in the jungle.))
The moral of the story is sad but true.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
If you live in the jungle here's what you gotta do.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
Trust nobody, take your time,
Look out front, look out behind.
Don't think livin's all roses and wine.
And don't let some monkey grease your grapevine.
((In the jungle, in the jungle.))
[Spoken:] Don't really have a finish for this thing,
You know it, Chip? You know what we could do?
We could just kind-a fade out.
I've heard them do that on records a lot of times.
Just fade out.
[Back up sings, "Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah" over the next
two lines (as well as between each line and twice at the end
of the two lines).] [Sung:] In the jungle, in the jungle.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
In the jungle, in the jungle.
(Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
[Fade.] (Doo-wop, wop-doo-wop-doo-wah.)
Ooo-ah, I like at doo wop.
