David Johansen - Stranded in the Jungle lyrics
[David Johansen - Stranded in the Jungle lyrics]
Well, I'm stranded in the jungle
I try to keep a date
When my little girl that's back in the States
I stranded in the jungle
I'm afraid and alone
I'm wondering how I'm gon' get
That message back home
But how was I to know that
The wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted by
The girl on Lover's Lane?
I said, meanwhile, back in the States
Baby, baby, let's make romance
I says your old time lover
Hasn't got a chance
I says he's stranded in the jungle
Mad as he can be
So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
Well, the boys in the jungle
Had me on the run
When something heavy hit me
Like an atomic bomb i woke up kinda slow
My head starting to clear
I had a strange feeling I'm with cooking gear
I smelled something cooking
I looked around to see
That's when I found out they was cooking me
I said
"Great God! Jiggabunga! Let me out of here!"
So baby, baby, let's make romance
I said your old time lover
Hasn't got a chance
I said he's stranded in the jungle
Mad as he can be
So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle
Well, I jumped out the pot
I tried to get away
I'm frantic and worried 'bout what
My baby might say
So I jump in the ocean, I starting to swim
But my chance of survival
Was getting mighty slim
I thumbed down a whale that
Was passing my way
I reached the States in about a half a day
I got to Lover's Lane and my soul was dead
My heart was gone and here's what I said
I said
Baby, baby, the man's no good
Whoa whoa, baby, baby, yeah
You shoulda understood
I says you can't trust me for
As long as you please
So come on, pretty darling
Like you used to be
Cause, I love, cause I love you
Cause, I love, cause I love you
Don't you know that I love you, baby
Yeah, I love you
Don't you, don't you know I love you, baby
I love, I love you, baby
Baby, baby, I love you
I try to keep a date
When my little girl that's back in the States
I stranded in the jungle
I'm afraid and alone
I'm wondering how I'm gon' get
That message back home
But how was I to know that
The wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted by
The girl on Lover's Lane?
I said, meanwhile, back in the States
Baby, baby, let's make romance
I says your old time lover

So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
