A great bear in the woods wants all he sees

From the snakes in the grass to the chimpanzees

We all know it ain't fair, it's a jungle out there

So go bang your drum, Mr. Big Baboon

What monkey see monkey will do

Boom boom boom boom, Mr. Big Baboon



Mad dog on the prowl sees the bear in the trees

They can never be friends, they're natural enemies

So you better beware, it's a jungle out there



So go bang your drum, Mr. Big Baboon...



Mr. Big Baboon sees the dog and bear

It's a three way tie, it's a stalemate there

Facin' off eye to eye, it's a jungle out there



So bang your drum, Mr. Big Baboon

You can all join in, monkey see monkey do

Boom boom boom boom, Mr. Big Baboon!...
