  			Bm                          Em         F#7  
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---  
Bm                        Em             F#7  
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents  
F#               A         Bm           A  
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---  
F#                      A             Bm           A  
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.  
F#         A         Bm           A  
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---  
F#                         A         Bm           A     B  
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.  
   
 
       G     A        D                     G   A         B  
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.  
       G     A        D                     G   A         B  
I'm a tiger when I want love,but I'm a snake if we disagree.  
   
 
REST THE SAME  
Just say a word and the boys will be right there:  
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.  
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?  
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.  
I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.''  
This game that we animals play is a winner.  
 
Let's bungle in the jungle --- well, that's all right by me.  
I'm a tiger when I want love,  
but I'm a snake if we disagree.  
 
The rivers are full of crocodile nasties  
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.  
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns ---  
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn  
to light up His Jungle as play is resumed.  
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
