Bilingual
I was standin' in the jungle, I was feeling alright
I was wanderin' in the darkness in the middle of the night
ย
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
ย
But what's that goin' on? I think I'm out of my head
ย
(Chooka-chooka, hoo la ley)
(Looka-looka, koo la ley)
A hundred animals were gathered 'round this night
ย
And they were singin' out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
ย
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"
ย
("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)
ย
Oh, that's nice
ย
And they danced
ย
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
Joy to everyone that rides along
