Lyrics Stranded In the Jungle (Alternate Version) - New York Dolls

Well, I′m stranded in the jungle, I'm trying to keep a date
With my little girl, that was back in the States
I′m sranded in the jungle, I'm afraid of it all
Wondering how I could get a message back home

But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted, but my girl on Lovers Lane?
How sad

Meanwhile, back in the States

Baby, baby, let's make romance
I says, your old-time lover hasn′t got a chance
I said he′s stranded in the jungle, bad as he can be
Come on, pretty darling, just you and me, oh yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Oh, yeah

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

Well, the boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
I woke up kind of slow and my head started to clear
I had a strange feeling I'm with cooking gear

I smelled something cooking, I looked around to see
That′s when I found out they was cookin' me, I said
"Ooga chooga-mu, let me outta here"

Baby, baby, let′s make romance
I said your old-time lover hasn't got a chance
I said he′s stranded in the jungle, sad as he can be
Come on pretty baby, just you and me, oh yeah (yeah-yeah-yeah)
Oh, yeah

Meanwhile, back in the jungle

Well, I jumped out of the pot, I'm tryin' to get away
I was frantic and worried about what my baby might say
So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim
But my chance of survival is mighty slim

So I thumbed down a whale that was passing my way
And I reached the States in about half a day
When I got to Lover′s Lane I was almost dead
My heart was goin′ and here is what I said

!Baby, baby, your man is no good!
I said, "Oh, baby, baby, you should have understood"
I said, "You can trust me for as long as you please
Come on, pretty baby, just you and me"

'Cause I love you (yeah-yeah-yeah)
′Cause I love you (yeah-yeah-yeah)
'Cause I love you (yeah-yeah-yeah)
′Cause I love you (yeah-yeah-yeah)
