C.W. Stoneking - Jungle Lullaby download song

Lyrics

It was deep in the Jungles of Africa
Where the bugs is thick as fleas
And the heat will drive sane men crazy
It was deep in the Jungles of Africa
Where the bugs is thick as fleas
And the heat will drive sane men crazy
And the water’s full o' disease
I went out walkin with a beautiful girl
Where the spotted honeysteppers fly
We lay down under the bamboo trees
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
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
Bom-bow-domp,…
Bomp-ow-domp-ay-ohh.
Lay-dat-omp
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
Creoonin, swoonin
That old time song, where the days are long
It’s a Jungle Lullaby
