Welcome to the Jungle where the cat loves to scratch

The rat squeals

And the polar bear feasts on the blubber of seals

The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles

Where the leopards grab the wilderbeast down by it's tail

You see the chimps they grow hips they hustle and sling in trees

Elephants for security that move tons of leaves

The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk

or eagles that stalk fresh-water trout under the wing of the hawk

You see the vultures pick the pocket of whatever remain

In the brain we watch but a shadow of the lion's mane

Whose roar is loud enough to take the stripes from a zebra

He camouflage his bets and his spots of a cheetah

Shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat

You silly goose you know he move fast on his feet

Now you're neck deep in depth with a bunch of lone sharks

So you move on a colony of ants with aardvarks, you see

Most of the everglades controlled by the gators

It was crashed by the crocs who came years later

See the locusts had swarmed with the bees

the tick moved with the fleas

The dragonflies and the wasps shared with the seas

The crab and the leeches sucked your blood flow

And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough

See a million mosquitos from the West now

Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild

It's like the jungle sometimes

Out of fear of the deer watch for the eye of the tiger

The Clutch from the Cobra and the venomous viper

Boa-constrictors that cut your circulation

Mosts of their prayers die from broke bones and suffocation

The owls are private eyes that watch from the bark

Black panthers are the militant who strike in the dark

Porcupines had a rep' for sticking everything that moved

In areas that the rhinos and hippos approved

And the giraffe was a look-out for gorillas in the mist

And the bats use their sonar to guide and assist

Those pelicans who smuggle contraband for the whale

While the skunks spray the scent to keep the dogs off the trail

The scorpion set up a sting for sly foxes

that use stool pigeons just to keep them in the boxes

While the black widow laid a web for the bachelor

like daddy-long-leg and his hype man, tarantula

They both prey on grasshoppers beetles and flies

And they all become instant meals the moment it dies

What costs little, is a little worth

so some lose they lives wandering on the wrong turf

From birth they grow up walking the thin line

It's like the jungle sometimes
