Bungle In The Jungle — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday ---
eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---
they`re fast but they`re lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Let`s bungle in the jungle --- well, that`s all right by me.
I`m a tiger when I want love,
but I`m a snake if we disagree.

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn`t be bolder.
I`ll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.``
This game that we animals play is a winner.

Let`s bungle in the jungle --- well, that`s all right by me.
I`m a tiger when I want love,but I`m a snake if we disagree.

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He`s a lover of life but a player of pawns ---
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle
as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.
