Just Another Day In The Jungle
Song # 130 | 8/18/1989 | CD: Coming soon!
It’s just another day in the jungle
The odds are 9-5
That you won’t get out alive
The chimps will rob you blind
Though the elephants are kind
In the jungle…
For a while there you thought you would be a lion
So you bought yourself a mane
But the ostriches complained
And they called you nasty names
and told you to refrain
From even trying…
Refrain:
You thought you could escape to the Bahamas
So you flew the friendly skies
Only to realize
What really attracts flies
But you finally did get wise
To the lying Llamas…
Refrain:
You blew it with the female of the species
The ones you thought were cute
Just didn’t give a hoot
In their presence you turned mute
So you climbed your favorite tree
To read some Nietzsche
Bridge:
The Hippopotamus, well she don’t like you
The Armadillo, just does not excite you
The Duck Billed Platypus, thinks she’s so special
The Koala bear is too damn bashful
The Anaconda holds you way too tightly
The Rhinoceros, well she snores nightly
Think my friend you must finally face the facts…
It’s really been a rough day in the jungle
When you said “Scotty beam me up!”
I knew you’d had enough
You had said that you were tough
But I guess it was a bluff
It’s really been a rough day in the jungle…
Refrain:
