| Take me out in the deep dark jungle
|
| Where the sun never gets through
|
| Because there’s no sunshine for me anyhow
|
| If I have to live without you
|
| Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
|
| As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
|
| It’s no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
|
| Then when you’re not around
|
| The days are hot in the deep dark jungle
|
| And black as night I understand
|
| It must be the loneliest place in the world
|
| And I’m the loneliest man
|
| Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
|
| As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
|
| It’s no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
|
| Then when you’re not around
|
| Let my teardrops fall like the tropical rain
|
| Drowning the beat of my heart
|
| Let the songbirds sing out the cry of the wild
|
| For my baby says we’re apart
|
| Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
|
| As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
|
| It’s no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
|
| Then when you’re not around |
