Lyrics
Bambino walked into the bar and poured himself a drink
His mood was stained with the blood of
Monkeys and he needed time to think
The man at the bar said, "What are you doing here?"
But the kid let go a little soft purr that kept the man from coming
He said, "I'm the king of the mighty
Panther and that jungle is my home
I'm free, free in all I see and that makes me free to roam
Sometimes if you feel the music I like, I may get caught in Spain
If the man has robbed you, though, I ask the
Entire jungle, joy in the kitty cat refrain"
One dark night the man-cub came to the big black cat afraid
The boy was sure that he was dying due to the
Endless stream of water that his eyes made
Yeah, the cat knew why when the boy says, "I don't want to die"
These are the ways of the man
The boy cried, "Teacher, teacher
I don't understand this hate within me"
The great cat sighed and softly he began
"Heed thou art a man's child now and
The world is yours to give and take
The time comes for your awareness to change forever
There's a choice you must make
You may remain here in the jungle and part with the free people
Or if you feel the man's got a call on you
Return to your kind in the village and worship at his steeple
The only thing you must do is what you feel in your heart is true
I will hunt now and leave you
On your own to decide what to do"
The mighty panther went on his hunts
The secret lord of the jungle beneath the night sky
And some say if you could have seen him then
