Down In Jungle Town 1908

Down in jungle town
the moon shone down
without a frown,
Soon a shy baboon
came out to spoon
beneath the moon.
Monkey Doodle wagged his noodle
he was Jungle King,
She felt flattered
when he chattered
"You're a pretty thing."
Big Bamboo room for two
so promise you'll be true!"

Down in jungle town
a honeymoon
is coming soon,
then you'll hear a serenade
to a pretty monkey maid,
And in monkey land
the chimpanzees
sing in the trees
"She'll be true to Monkeydoodledo"
Way down in Jungle Town.

Down in jungle town
a honeymoon
is coming soon,
then you'll hear a serenade
to a pretty monkey maid,
And in monkey land
the chimpanzees
sing in the trees
"She'll be true to Monkeydoodledo"
Way down in Jungle Town.

Soon he came to spoon
beneath the moon
with his baboon....
Tho' another beau
who loves her so
won't let her go,
King got sore,
then softly swore
"His tale of love I'll cut,"
First he bit him
then he hit him
with a cocoanut.
Hear them sing
"Hail The King,"
he's Jungle town's real thing.

Down in jungle town
a honeymoon
is coming soon,
then you'll hear a serenade
to a pretty monkey maid,
And in monkey land
the chimpanzees
sing in the trees
"She'll be true to Monkeydoodledo"
Way down in Jungle Town.

Down in jungle town
a honeymoon
is coming soon,
then you'll hear a serenade
to a pretty monkey maid,
And in monkey land
the chimpanzees
sing in the trees
"She'll be true to Monkeydoodledo"
Way down in Jungle Town.

careful listeners will be able to hear the monekys in the chorus
mainly in the bass clef where they have set up camp..... ;-)
