[00:15.08]In the african jungle way down deep
[00:17.95]All of the animals fast asleep
[00:20.29]My native boy who's was having the jive
[00:22.45]Said I'm gonna make the jungle come alive
[00:25.25]Beating on the drum in his native style
[00:27.23]You can hear his rhythm up and down the nile
[00:29.73]A lion woke up and he let out a roar
[00:31.92]Say that I think I've heard that beat before
[00:34.76]A monkey swung down from high on a lim
[00:36.82]Said I feel that rhythm deap within
[00:39.60]An antelope jumped from behind the trees said
[00:41.81]It sure sounds mighty fine to me
[00:44.42]An elephant showed his mighty snout
[00:46.59]Said what's this racket all about
[00:49.16]A hyena laughed said nothing's wrong

[01:25.45]Turned to the hippo and here's what he said
