Said the mamba snake to the cockatoo I can't get no sleep like I used to do All night long, the wild boys run through the streets They're shootin' up the night, I listen to them fight There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Watch the war babies go hungry and cry There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Everybody's fightin', nobody knows why Why, why, why? At dawn the refugees are seekin' shelter And from the violence of the night they run in fright helter skelter From the volatile eruption and the wolves of war Nurse their young famine and destruction There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Watch the war babies go hungry and cry There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Everybody's fightin' nobody knows why Why, why, why? There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Watch the war babies go hungry and cry There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high Everybody's fightin', fightin' know why No, no, there's is no peace in the jungle The peace in the jungle when the moon is high Watch the war babies go hungry and cry There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is, the moon is high Everybody's fightin' and don't know why, why? Don't knows why
