Lyrics Jungle - Electric Light Orchestra

I was standin' in the jungle, I was feeling alright
I was wanderin' in the darkness, in the middle of the night
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
But what's that goin' on? I think I'm outta my head
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
Looka-looka, koo la ley
A hundred animals were gathered 'round this night
And they were singin' out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
I stood and stared for quite a
while, then a lion sang to me and smiled
"Come join us if you so desire"
They sang
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka-looka, koo la ley
(And then turned away)
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka-looka, koo la ley
I said, "Now, please, explain the meaning of this song you sing"
"Wondrous is our great blue ship that sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along"
Oh, they sang
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka-looka, koo la ley
(Oh, that's nice)
And they danced
Pretty soon I knew the tune and we sat and sang under the moon
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony
They sang
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka-looka, koo la ley
(And then turned away)
Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley
(That's what they sang)
Looka-looka, koo la ley
Wondrous is our great blue ship that sails around the mighty sun
And joy to everyone that rides along
