Lyrics
Down in the jungle where it all began,
A monkey got thinking and thought he’d be a man,
Not just a monkey, thought he’d be unique,
So he stood up and said so and found that he could speak
In the jungle, down there in the

Down in the jungle feeling kinda blue,
Man needed someone to do his speaking to,
Saw him a woman sitting eating fruit,
Then he found he was married and had to wear a suit
In the jungle, down there in the

Down in the jungle man and family,
Got kinda crowded living in a tree,
So man built a mud hut and woman gave a grin,
And all her relations started moving in
In the jungle, down there in the

Down in the jungle squatting on his heels,
Man got inventing and found he’d made a wheel,
What an invention! Thought it couldn’t fail,
But they got him for parking and threw him into jail
In the jungle, down there in the

Down in the jungle neighbours came to call,
Man gave them greetings, welcomed one and all,
Neighbours admired ev’rything they saw,
And that was the reason they started off a war
In the jungle down there in the

Down in the jungle where it all began,
A monkey got thinking and thought he’d be a man,
One little monkey had his little say,
And that’s how we started and how we’re here today
In the jungle, down there in the
Down in the jungle.
