Lyrics
- That morning sun peeks over the mountains
- And all the rhinos rub their eyes
- When they hear (hear what?)
- Hear the jungle rhythm
- Those birds are tap-tap-tappin' the tree trunks
- The busy bee hums as he flies
- Loud and clear
- To the jungle rhythm
- Now you can hightail it out of the jungle
- But it never leaves your heart
- First you feel that beat start
- bubbling under
- Then you hear the tom-toms
- Loud as thunder
- (it's moving me!)
- Sounds a lot like being free
- When you feel
- Feel the jungle rhythm
- Feel the jungle rhythm
(come on, Shanti!)
- Can't do without rhythm
- And when it fills the air
- Animals everywhere
- Join in the dance
- You'll dance along with 'em
- Feeling it steal your soul
- We'll stomp our paws!
- Flap our wings!
- Maybe do one or two crazy things
- Kan Khan!
- Yeah that's it!
- Uh ha, uh ha!
- Check out those chat-chat-chattering monkeys
- Swinging through the banyan trees
- Two by two (two by two)
- To the jungle rhythm
- Sounds like a wolf pack
- Way in the distance
- Singing pretty harmonies
- Woo-woo-woo (woo-woo-woo)
- To the jungle rhythm
Yeah! That's it!
- Now you can hightail it out of the jungle
- But it never leaves your heart
- First you feel that beat start
- Bubbling under
- Then you hear the tom toms
- Loud as thunder
(it's moving me!)
- Sounds a lot like being free
- When I feel (When I feel)
- (When I feel) (When I feel)
- Feel the jungle rhythmmmm (x5)
(Hey, wait, stop! You're crossing the river. Mowgli, you can't go in the jungle. It's too dangerous. Mowgli, stop!)
