A  D                           F#m   Bm
I was standin' in the jungle, I was feelin' alright
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D                              F#m  Bm
I was wanderin' in the darkness, in the middle of the night
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D                      F#m Bm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D                        F#m   Bm
But what's that going on, I think I'm out of my head
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D               F#m   Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley

Looka looka koo la ley

A D                    F#m   Bm
A hundred animals were gathered 'round this night
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D                           F#m   Bm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm

A D                       F#m   Bm
I stood and stared for quite a while
F#m      Bm
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
G     D                   A   D   A
"Come join us if you so desire."

They sang
A D               F#m   Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D               A     D  A
Looka looka koo la ley (and they turned away)
A D               F#m   Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D               A     D  A
Looka looka koo la ley

A D                          F#m Bm
I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
G  D     A  D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D                         F#m
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
     Bm                       G
That sails around the mighty sun
      D                   A     D     A
And joy to everyone that rides along!"

Oh, they sang
A D               F#m   Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D               A     D  A
Looka looka koo la ley

Oh that's nice!

And THEY DANCED!
A D                    F#m   Bm
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
D               A                 D A
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony

A D               F#m   Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley (and they turned away)
A D                F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D               A     D  A
Looka looka koo la ley

A D                           F#m
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
      Bm                       G
That sails around the mighty sun
      D                  A
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
