TAKE ME BACK TO THE JUNGLE
by
Matt McGinn
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
I'm just a silly little monkey
Living in the London zoo
If you come along and see me there
I'll sing a little song for you
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
If you bring me banana and peanuts
You keep me happy a while
But if you want to hear me laughing
Bring a little iron file
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
Some day that silly old keeper
Will come too close to me
I'll pick the pocket of his uniform
Steal his cage door key
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
Charlie Darwin, he told you
I am your ancestor
Yet you treat me like an animal
I don't know why, what for
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
My love, she's out in the jungle
Waiting patiently
Won't some kind person come along
Make a little monkey free?
Take me back to the jungle
Let me swing on the tree
From the rattle and the rumble
I just want to be free
