I was standing in the jungle
I was feeling alright
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
I was wandering in the darkness
In the middle of the night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
The moon began to shine
I saw a clearing ahead
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
But what's that going on
I think I'm outta my head
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
Looka looka, koo la ley.
A hundred animals were
Gathered round this night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
And they were singin' out
A lovely song under the pale moonlight
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
I stood and stared for quite a while
Then a lion sang to me and smiled,
"Come join us if you so desire."They sang:
Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka looka, koo la ley
Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka looka, koo la ley.
I said, "Now please explain
The meaning of this song you sing,
Mmhmm, mmhmm."
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along."They sang:
Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka looka, koo la ley.And they danced!Pretty soon, I knew the tune
And we sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang
In joyful harmony.They sang:
Chooka chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka looka, koo la ley
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka looka, koo la ley."Wondrous is our great blue ship
That sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along."Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley...
