Jungle Blues

«That's right folks, who knows what strange wonders awaits our expeditioners
On this journey to the dark corners of the globe, for this scientific purpose,.
«Uh, excuse me sir, there’s been a problem with the boat. Ship’s engineer wants
to see you at once»
«Quieten down man. We sail by midnight»
And I went off sailing for the Congo
In a sloop called the Mississippi Song-o
Now I’m here singing them Jungle Blues
In a shipwreck, way out on the ocean
Swimming blind, lord, praying and hoping
I washed up singing them Jungle Blues
Can’t you hear them Jungle Drums thumpin'?
Buddy, that’s what gets my heart to jumpin'
It ain’t nothin' but them Jungle Blues
And the monkeys, goin' pitter-patter
In the darkness, my teeth begin to chatter
There ain’t no cure for them Jungle Blues
