I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I was wondering in the darkness, in the middle of the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
The Moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
But what's that going on, I think I'm outta my head
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm

Chooka chooka hoo la ley
Looka looka koo la ley

A hundred animals were gathered 'round in the night
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
Come join us if you so desire

I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
Mmmhmmm, mmmhmmm
Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty Sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!

And they danced!!!

Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the Moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty Sun
And joy to everyone that rides along!
