I was down in the jungle, pickin' wild beans
Somethin' jumped up that I'd never before seen
I picked up my bag and I tried to make a getaway
Just then I heard somebody say
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, ow
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run
I was runnin' so fast that I didn't even leave a track
Whatever it is caught me snatched the shirt off of my back
Runnin' through the jungle with such a breeze
That I shook all the leaves off of the bamboo trees
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, yahoo
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, uh-huh-huh-huh
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run
I was runnin' through the jungle with a terrible breeze
I tripped over a stump and I hurt my knee
When the people in the village they saw me runnin'
They didn't know what was goin' on
They thought things was awfully funny but I said
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, wow
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, ow
I run out so fast I didn't even say goodbye
Spotted wings on my feet and I began to fly
Flew so far away from that land
Found myself straddlin' a United airplane
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, yeah, ha ha
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run, uh-huh-huh
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, little daddy
Run, run, run
