I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

But what`s that going on, I think I`m outta my head

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.



Chooka chooka hoo la ley

Looka looka koo la ley.



A hundred animals were gathered `round in the night

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

I stood and stared for quite a while

Then a lion sang to me and smiled:

"Come join us if you so desire."



Chooka chooka hoo la ley

Looka looka koo la ley.



I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

"Wondrous is our great blue ship

That sails around the might sun

And joy to everyone that rides along!"



Chooka chooka hoo la ley

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.



Chooka chooka hoo la ley

Looka looka koo la ley.

Chooka chooka hoo la ley

Looka looka koo la ley.



"Wondrous is our great blue ship

That sails around the might sun

And joy to everyone that rides along!"
