[Verse 1]
I once knew a girl, she was 5'2"
She was walkin' down the street with her brand-new boots
Yeah, little Johnny saw her walkin' and he wanted them too
Too bad, Johnny, you can't have 'em 'cause they'll never fit you
[Verse 2]
There was a boy who couldn't swim
And he liked a girl he felt was too good for him
So he watched her fall in love, and she married a lass
Too bad, baby, you can't have her 'cause no man has
[Chorus]
Oh, no, no one cares
Life ain't always fair, it's a jungle out there
[Post-Chorus]
Life ain't always fair, it's a jungle out there
[Verse 3]
Found an alligator stuck in a lake
With an appetite that no one could appreciate
A camp of kids came rollin' in
The lesson learned that day was how to sink or swim
[Verse 4]
I once knew a lady who deserved a promotion
Yeah, the smartest woman in the room, so devoted
But her boss he told her it would cost her body to get it
And so she shot him six times and told him he could forget it
[Chorus]
Oh, no, no one cares
Life ain't always fair, it's a jungle out there
[Post-Chorus]
Life ain't always fair, it's a jungle out there
[Outro]
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
So sad, baby
Don't it make you wanna cry about it?
Life ain't always fair, it's a jungle out there
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la)

Jess Origliasso:
‘Jungle’ is our favourite song that embodies the Gothic Summer. This song embodies stories that make you laugh so we don’t cry. Because that’s how life feels. Like a gothic comedy.
