Jungle

At the time of the album's recording,several "novelty" songs filled the airwaves around the world.Jeff Lynne decided he could do such a track,and the end result is JUNGLE.

[Verse 1] I was standing in the jungle, I was feeling alright I was wandering in the darkness in the middle of the night The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead But what's that going on, I think I'm out of my head [Pre-Chorus] Chooka chooka hoo la ley Looka looka koo la ley [Verse 2] A hundred animals were gathered around this night And they were singing out a lovely song Under the pale moonlight I stood and stared for quite a while Then a lion sang to me and smiled: "Come and join us if you so desire." They sang... [Chorus] Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka koo la ley (And it started to rain) Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka koo la ley [Verse 3] I said now "please explain the meaning of this song you sing" "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along!" They sang... [Pre-Chorus] Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka koo la ley Ah that's nice! And they danced! [Verse 4] Pretty soon I knew the tune And we sat and sang under the moon And the jungle rang in joyful harmony They sang... [Chorus] Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka koo la ley (And it started to rain) 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!”
