Down in the Jungle Songtext

von Glen Yarbrough

Down in the jungle, where it all began,
A monkey got thinking and thought he'd be a man.
Not just a monkey - thought he'd be unique.
So he stood up and said so and found that he could speak.
In the jungle.
Down there in the...

Down in the jungle feelin' kinda blue,
Man needed someone to do his speakin' to.
Saw him a woman sittin', eatin' fruit.
And found he was married and had to wear a suit -
In the jungle.
Down there in the...

Down in the jungle man and family,
Got kinda crowded livin' in a tree.
So man built a mud hut and woman gave a grin.
And all her relations started movin' in.
In the jungle
Down there in the...

Down in the jungle neighbors came to call.
Man gave them greetings, welcomed one and all.
Neighbors admired everything they saw,
And that was the reason they started off a war -
In the jungle,
Down there in the...

Down in the jungle where it all began.
A monkey got thinking and thought he'd be a man.
One little monkey had his little say.
And that's how it started and how we're here today
In the jungle...
Down there in the jungle, where it all began.
