C.W. Stoneking - Jungle Lullaby lyrics

Artist: C.W. Stoneking

album: Jungle Blues


It was deep in the Jungles of Africa
Where the bugs is thick as fleas
And the heat will drive sane men crazy
And the water's full o' disease
I went out walkin' with a beautiful girl
Where the spotted honey steppers fly
We lay down under the bamboo trees
I sang that Jungle lullaby
Singin', swingin'
On a lazy afternoon in paradise
Croonin', swoonin'
That old time song, where the days are long
It's a Jungle Lullaby

Well, we made it down to a riverbank
Spied a steamboat comin' along
Then we hitched a ride, lawd, lookin' over the side
Everything was goin' on wrong
There was bird-eatin' spiders, big as my fist
Snakes that hung down like vines
And eyes that watched as we drifted along
I sang that Jungle Lullaby
Singin', swingin'
On a lazy afternoon in paradise
Croonin', swoonin'
That old time song, where the days are long
It's a Jungle Lullaby
Bom-bow-domp
Bomp-ow-domp-ay-ohh
Lay-dat-omp
Folks you know, when we got back into town that night
There was excitement in the air
I heard there was a party over at the Officers Club, so I took that girl on over
Man, we walked in the joint, orchestra playin' so sweet, I thought I'd die
I got up on that old bandstand
Sang that Jungle Lullaby
Singin', swingin'
On a lazy afternoon in paradise
Croonin', swoonin'
That old time song, where the days are long
It's a Jungle Lullaby
