Bungle in the Jungle
    Jethro Tull

    Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
    scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
    down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
    eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.
    Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
    they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.
    Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
    I'm a tiger when I want love,
    but I'm a snake if we disagree.

    Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
    with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
    Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
    Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.
    I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.''
    This game that we animals play is a winner.

    Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.
    I'm a tiger when I want love,
    but I'm a snake if we disagree.

    The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
    and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
    He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
    yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
    to light up His Jungle
    as play is resumed.

    The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
