Stranded In The Jungle - David Johansen

Well, I’m stranded in the jungle

I try to keep a date

When my little girl that’s back in the States

I stranded in the jungle, I’m afraid and alone

I’m wondering how I’m gon' get that message back home

But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane

Had been picked up and spotted by the girl on Lover’s Lane?

I said, meanwhile, back in the States…

Baby, baby, let’s make romance

I says your old time lover hasn’t got a chance

I says he’s stranded in the jungle, mad as he can be

So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me

Oh 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 kinda slow, my head starting 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 cooking me

I said, «Great God!

Jiggabunga!

Let me out of here!»

So 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, mad as he can be

So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me

Meanwhile, back in the jungle…

Well, I jumped out the pot, I tried to get away

I’m frantic and worried 'bout what my baby might say

So I jump in the ocean, I starting to swim

But my chance of survival was getting mighty slim

I thumbed down a whale that was passing my way

I reached the States in about a half a day

I got to Lover’s Lane and my soul was dead

My heart was gone and here’s what I said

I said

Baby, baby, the man’s no good

Whoa whoa, baby, baby, yeah

You shoulda understood

I says you can’t trust me for as long as you please

So come on, pretty darling, like you used to be

Cause I love, cause I love you

Cause I love, cause I love you

Don’t you know that I love you, baby

Yeah, I love you

Don’t you, don’t you know I love you, baby

I love, I love you, baby

Baby, baby, I love you
