Lyrics[]
AY-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI!
Brrrrrr...HAHAHAHA!
(Animal noises)
Chuck E.: Tell it, y'all!
All right, no monkey business here!
In deepest darkest Africa, a mystery was found
There was music in the jungle when no one was around
Jasper: Where it could be coming from, no one really knew
So we started a safari to see what we can do
Chuck E.: Walkin' through the wilderness further every day
Pasqually: It gets a little scary when you do not know the way
Munch: Watchin' out for wildebeests, confrontin' crocodiles
Helen: Following the jungle sounds for miles and miles
Chuck E.: We were very tired, this was no vacation
We decided that the music must have been imagination
Jasper: And when we least expected it, the jungle drums pounded
Helen: It came from all around us
All: Help, we're surrounded!
When the jungle drums beat, they turn up the heat
Your feet could lead you anywhere
The rivers in the congo are beatin' on the bongo
When monkeys start to swing, it's a jungle out there
Jasper: Oooh...sneaky. (giggles)
Chuck E.: I wouldn't quite believe it if I wasn't there to see
Helen: The animals were puttin' on a jungle jamboree
Jasper: Playin' different instrument, makin' every sound
Munch: Rockin' so hard, it sorta shook around
Pasqually: They wanted to get out of there, but didn't feel like staying (giggles)
Chuck E.: The animals were everywhere, and here's what they were playing
Helen: There were chimpanzees on timpanis
Munch: Zebras on the xylophone
Jasper: Hyenas on ocarinas
Pasqually: And tigers on trombones
Chuck E.: There were elephants trumpeting
Munch: Gibbons on guitar
Jasper: A boa on the squeeze box
Pasqually: Then hear the lion roar
All: When the jungle drums beat, they turn up the heat
Your feet could lead you anywhere
The rivers in the congo are beatin' on the bongo
When monkeys start to swing, it's a jungle out there
(Chuck E. laughs)
Helen: The giraffe could hit the high notes
Munch: The snakes played scales
Jasper: The anteater had hot licks
Pasqually: Ya shoulda heard him well
Chuck E.: The rhinos played their horns
Munch: On this musical trip
Jasper: Flamingos did flamencos
Pasqually: While the hippos shook their hip... shake, shake, shake!
All: When the jungle drums beat, they turn up the heat
Your feet could lead you anywhere
The rivers in the congo are beatin' on the bongo
When monkeys start to swing, it's a jungle out there
Chuck E.: It was such a crazy party, like a musical zoo
Helen: We couldn't keep from dancing, and you should dance too
Munch: 'Cause when you least expect it, the drums could start to pound
All: And you'd better start to Boogie with these animals around
When the jungle drums beat, they turn up the heat
Your feet could lead you anywhere
The rivers in the congo are beatin' on the bongo
When monkeys start to swing, it's a jungle out there
The rivers in the congo are beatin' on the bongo
When monkeys start to swing, it's a jungle out there
(Jasper barking)
Chuck E.: Whoaaaaa!!
(Jasper howling)
(Chuck E. yells like Tarzan)
(More animal noises)
Chuck E.: I cut my vocal cords!
