[Chorus]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white girl crazy, she's gone Black boy hazy
We're each others baby, we're in love
[Verse 1]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She can't love me, I can't love her
'Cause they say we're the wrong color
Staring, gloating, laughing, looking
Like we've done something wrong
Because we show love strong, get real, come on
Calling us names too bad to mention
But we pay them no attention
For color blind are inner feelings
If we feel happiness
And know our love's the best, forget their mess
[Chorus]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white girl crazy, she's gone Black boy hazy
We're each others baby, we're in love, hit me, drummer
[Post-Chorus]
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha
Hoya, hoya, ha (Olatunji, Bimbo, Lenny, Earl and Munyungo)
Hoya, sasa, wacha (Are on the drums, man)
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha
[Verse 2]
Everyone's created equal
Hell with all you ignorant people
Trying to stereotype us
You really ought to quit
'Cause you don't know jack, you make us sick
Get off my jock, you're trying to ride me
'Cause I got my girl beside me
You'll only make yourself look stupid
I love you're trying to diss
'Cause we've got happiness, I bet you're pissed
[Chorus]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white girl crazy, she's gone Black boy hazy
We're each others baby, we're in love, hit me, drummer
[Post-Chorus]
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha (In case you're just tunin' in)
Hoya, hoya, ha (Olatunji, Bimbo, Lenny, Earl and Munyungo)
Hoya, sasa, wacha (Are still on the drums, man)
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha
Hoya, hoya, ha
Hoya, sasa, wacha
[Chorus]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
She's got jungle fever, I've got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
I've gone white girl crazy, she's gone Black boy hazy
We're each others baby, we're in love
[Outro]
I've got jungle fever, she's got jungle fever
We've got jungle fever, we're in love
She's gone Black boy crazy, I've gone white girl hazy
Ain't no thinking maybe, we're in love
