Ever see the Congo when it's gleamin' in the night?
Ever see the jungle with the animals in fright?
Put me in the Congo and the jungle and I'm right

Got that fever, jungle fever
Oh, you know the reason that I long to go

Dusky maiden, dark-haired siren
Congo sweetheart, I'm comin' back to you
Wild eyed woman, native dream girl
Jungle fever is in my blood for you

Ever hear a kettle drum a-poundin' out a beat?
Ever fight the silence and the madness and the heat?
That's the thrill I'm cravin' and the music is so sweet

Got that fever, jungle fever
Oh, the Congo's callin' and I long to go

Dusky maiden, dark-haired siren
Congo sweetheart, I'm comin' back to you
Wild eyed woman, native dream girl
Jungle fever is in my blood for you

Put me in the Congo and the jungle and I'm right
