Jungle Blues

[Intro]
"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"

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
