Electric Light Orchestra Jungle

I was standing in the jungle
I was feeling alright
Mmhmm, mmhmm
I was wandering in the darkness
In the middle of the night
Mmhmm, mmhmm
The moon began to shine
I saw a clearing ahead
Mmhmm, mmhmm
But what's that going on
I think I'm outta my head
Mmhmm, mmhmm

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley

A hundred animals were
Gathered round this night
Mmhmm, mmhmm
And they were singin' out
A lovely song under
The pale moonlight
Mmhmm, mmhmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
'Come join us if you so desire.

They sang:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley

I said now please explain
The meaning of this song you sing,
Mmhmm, mmhmm
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along

They sang:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley

And they danced.

Pretty soon I knew the tune
And we sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang
In joyful harmony

They sang:
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley

Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along.
