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.
CHORUS: 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."
REPEAT CHORUS
I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along!"
REPEAT CHORUS
AND THEY DANCED!!!
Pretty soon I knew the tune and We sat and sang under the moon And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.
REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
"Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along!"
