Push me in the face again, push me in the face again, push me in the face
push me in the face again, push me in the face again, push me in the face

Didn't really like - I didn't really like it
last time when you pushed me in the face
didn't really like it last time when you pushed my face

In the ju-u-u-u-u-ungle
in the ju-u-u-u-u-ungle

       Bb     -     -     -     -     -     -      C
in the ju-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ungle

Now you will be with me
put your hand in my hand
lift up the rock and see all the things
that live in the jungle with us

Put your hand near the bug
we are so much like them
see how the bug reacts to your hand
in the same way as I do


(Coda; same as interlude)
