Lyrics
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

I crashed in the jungle while tryin' to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
I was stranded in the jungle afraid and alone
Tryin' to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know there was a record jump my plane
Had been picked up and spotted my girl in lover's lane?

And meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle flat as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me

An' meanwhile back in the jungle
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was with cooking gear
I smelled something cookin' and I looked to see
That's when I found out they was a-cookin' me
Great Googa Mooga, lemme outta here

An' meanwhile back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know your old time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle flat as he can be
So come on pretty baby just you and me

An' meanwhile back in the jungle
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I jumped outta the pot and I finally got away
Frantic and worried about what my baby would say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
But my chance of survival was gettin' mighty slim
So I thumbed down a whale who was headin' my way
And I reached the States in about a half a day
And when I got to lover's lane I was almost dead
When my soul was gone and here's what I said

Baby, baby, the man is no good
Oh, baby, baby, you should've understood
You can trust me as long as you please
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
