Stranded In The Jungle
FZ: The name of this song is "Stranded In The Jungle." Yes, yes, yes . .
I crashed in the jungle while trying to keep a date
With my little girl who was back in the States
Stranded in the jungle, afraid, alone
Trying to figure a way to get a message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted, and my girl in Lover's Lane?
Meanwhile, back in the States . .
Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, stranded as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle . .
The boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me, like an atomic bomb
When I woke up and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I was in cooking gear
I turn around and I look to see
That's when I found out they was a-cooking me
Great googa-mooga! Let me out of here!
Meanwhile, back in the States . .
Baby, baby, let's make romance
You know, your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
He's stranded in the jungle, stranded as he can be
So come on pretty baby, just you and me
Meanwhile, back in the jungle . .
Well, I jumped out the pot, and I finally got away
Frantic with worry about what my baby'd say
So I jumped in the ocean and I started to swim
But my chances of survival were getting mighty slim
So I thumbed down a whale who was heading my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
Now when I got to Lover's Lane, I was almost dead
But my soul was gone, and here's what I said:
Baby, baby, the man is no good
Oh baby, baby, you should have understood
You can trust me as long as I'm free
So come back pretty baby where you used to be
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
'Cause I love you
