Take me out in the deep dark jungle
Where the sun never gets through
Because there's no sunshine for me anyhow
If I have to live without you

Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
It's no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
Then when you're not around

The days are hot in the deep dark jungle
And black as night I understand
It must be the loneliest place in the world
And I'm the loneliest man

Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
It's no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
Then when you're not around

Let my teardrops fall like the tropical rain
Drowning the beat of my heart
Let the songbirds sing out the cry of the wild
For my baby says we're apart

Let me as the beat of the one minute drum
As it calls its lonesome ol' sound
It's no more lonesome in the deep dark jungle
Then when you're not around
