Walla Walla is the fifth track on Glass Animals' debut album Zaba.
The song’s name comes from the term used to describe the sound effect of a murmuring crowd.
The song is expressly about meeting a simple wild man in the jungle, but given the lightly patronizing tone of the song, it seems it would...
[Verse 1]
Hi, my little naked man
I saw you there looking sad
Face so lost, petrified
Timid twitch in your wide eyes
My oh my, such strange supplies
Many spoons all in a pile
Did you bend ‘em with your mind?
Precious, precious, right right right
[Chorus]
Honey honey, don’t you cry
It’s a ruse, all these creatures are a lie
Funny bunny, it’s alright

Funny bunny, it’s alright
I clap my hands, and they’re gone into the night
[Outro]
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
Take my hand, take my hand, take my hand, take my hand
