It's a Jungle Out There
One day Tarzan said to Jane while they were walkin' through the garden
"One thing I must explain before we go no farther
I know you'd like a bright new dress with a bright new yellow linin'
But every time you want one, darlin', I got to fight a lion"
And it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Way back in the city where the city people smile
Whenever they need a new pair of shoes, they don't kill no crocodile
And when the night time falls around them, they stay in their hotels
But out here, darlin',
when the night time comes, there's nothin' to do but yell
It's a jungle out there
Better say a prayer
Even if they eat you
And eventually they will
It's a jungle out there, whoa, you know
One day Tarzan said to Jane "I want to talk to you about the boy
He's been actin' very strange lately, he thinks a tool's a toy
Why only yesterday while I was out there fixin' up the vine
He said 'Daddy,
I'm gonna take a swing' but he grabbed a hold of my vine, ow!"
It's a jungle out there
Hey, you better beware
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Now, the moral of this story is if you end up out there, too
Think of all them snakes you might have snakin' up on you
But on the other hand, my darlin', you don't have to care
'Cause no matter how far,
no matter how long, no matter how cold or fair
High or low, up or down, it's still a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
'Cause it's a jungle out there
"One thing I must explain before we go no farther
I know you'd like a bright new dress with a bright new yellow linin'
But every time you want one, darlin', I got to fight a lion"
And it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
Way back in the city where the city people smile
Whenever they need a new pair of shoes, they don't kill no crocodile
And when the night time falls around them, they stay in their hotels
But out here, darlin',
when the night time comes, there's nothin' to do but yell
It's a jungle out there

There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
'Cause it's a jungle out there
