“Jungle Man” is the first track from The Red Hot Chili Peppers 1985 album, Freaky Styley. Singer Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics because the track reminded him of his best friend, the band’s bassist Michael “Flea” Balzary.
[Verse 1]
Deep inside the soul hole of a-Mother Earth
Father Time came with a supersonic, supersonic burst
His soul monkey sperm tribes racing to be first
Her ruby fruit jungle givin' bush, baby, bush-baby birth
The baby was a boy, but I think what stunned her
Is that this bare-breasted baby was a baby boy, boy, boy, boy wonder
Crackin' from his thumb bone came thelonious thunder, yeah
Fill the sky with hellfire from way down, down, down under
[Chorus 1]
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I can
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I can
[Verse 2]
Erupting from the ground in Hollywood, he glowed
His jungle turned to concrete, his funk bone, bone, bone, bone to stone
A full-blown volcano, I must let it be known
That through this boy's veins, atomic lava blood flows and flows
His soul-shocking sounds, they make the mountains moan
This boy's become a man, it's time to take, take, take, take the throne
[Chorus 2]
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I can
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I…
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I can
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I get all the bush I…
[Outro]
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
I'm a jungle man
