Darkness, creepin' thru the leaves
Jungle fever, got a hold on me
Want somebody tell me
Where can my baby be?

I'm gonna climb me a tree
Where I can see
Where my baby done gone
Then, I'll look up in the sky
With tears in my eyes
And tell my baby good-bye

Creepin' thru the grass
The lion and the leopard
Creepin' thru the grass
Only Lord above
Know how long these hunts gonna last

I'm gonna climb me a tree
Where I can see
Where my baby done gone
Then, I'll look up in the sky
With tears in my eyes
And tell my baby good-bye
