[Opening]
[Am]Walking through forests of [Dm]palm tree apart[Am]ments
scoff at the monkeys who [Dm]live in their dark [Am]tents
[Em]down by the waterhole [Am]drunk every Fri[Bm]day,
[Em]eating their nuts saving their [Am]raisins for [Bm]Sunday.
[Em]Lions and tigers who [Am]wait in the [Bm]shadows,
they’re [Em]fast but they’re lazy, and [Am]sleep in green [G]meadows.

[chorus]
Let’s [F]bungle [G]in the [C]jungle
well, that’s [F]all right [G]by [Am]me.
I’m a [F]tiger [G]when I [C]want love,
but I’m a [F]snake if we [G]dis[Am]agree.

[section 2]
[Am]Just say a word and the [Dm]boys will be right [Am]there,
with [Am]claws at your back to send a [Dm]chill through the night [Am]air.
[Em]Is it so [G]frightening to have [Am]me at your [Bm]shoulder?
[Em]Thunder and [G]lightning [Am]couldn’t be [Bm]bolder.
I’ll [Em]write on your tombstone, “I [Am]thank you for [Bm]dinner.”
This [Em]game that we [G]animals [Am]play is a [G]win[G]ner.

[chorus]
[C]Let’s [F]bungle [G]in the [C]jungle
well, that’s [F]all right [G]by [Am]me.
I’m a [F]tiger [G]when I [C]want love,
but I’m a [F]snake if we [G]dis[Am]agree.

[interlude]
[Am] [G] [Em] [Am] [G] [Em]

[Closing]
The [Am]rivers are full of [Dm]crocodile [Am]nasties
and [Am]He who made kittens put [Dm]snakes in the [Am]grass.
He’s a [Em]lover of life but a [Am]player of [Bm]pawns
yes, the [Em]King on His sunset lies [Am]waiting for [Bm]dawn
to [Em]light up His Jungle as [Am]play is re[Bm]sumed.
The [Em]monkeys seem willing to [Am]strike up the [G]tune.

[chorus]
[C]Let’s [F]bungle [G]in the [C]jungle
well, that’s [F]all right [G]by [Am]me.
I’m a [F]tiger [G]when I [C]want love,
but I’m a [F]snake if we [G]dis[Am]agree.

[chorus]
[C]Let’s [F]bungle [G]in the [C]jungle
well, that’s [F]all right [G]by [Am]me.
