I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm.



CHORUS: 

Chooka chooka hoo la ley 

Looka looka koo la ley.



A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

I stood and stared for quite a while 

Then a lion sang to me and smiled: 

"Come join us if you so desire."



REPEAT CHORUS



I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing 

Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm 

"Wondrous is our great blue ship 

That sails around the mighty sun 

And joy to everyone that rides along!"



REPEAT CHORUS



AND THEY DANCED!!!



Pretty soon I knew the tune and 

We sat and sang under the moon 

And the jungle rang in joyful harmony.



REPEAT CHORUS



REPEAT CHORUS



"Wondrous is our great blue ship 

That sails around the mighty sun 

And joy to everyone that rides along!"
