Ever see the Congo
when it's gleamin' in the night?
Ever hear the jungle
with the animals in fright?
Put me in the Congo
and the Jungle
and I'm right.
Got that fever
Jungle Fever.
Oh! you know the reason
that I long to go. Oh!

Dusky maiden
darkhaired siren,
Congo sweet heart
I'm comin' back to you.
Wildeyed woman,
native dreamgirl
Jungle Fever
is in my blood for you.

Dusky maiden
darkhaired siren,
Congo sweet heart
I'm comin' back to you.
Wildeyed woman,
native dreamgirl
Jungle Fever
is in my blood for you.

Ever hear a kettle drum
a poundin' out a beat?
Ever fight the silence
and the madness and the heat?
That's the thrill I'm cravin'
and the music is as sweet.
Got that fever
Jungle Fever.
Oh! the Congo's calling
and I long to go. Oh!

Dusky maiden
darkhaired siren,
Congo sweet heart
I'm comin' back to you.
Wildeyed woman,
native dreamgirl
Jungle Fever
is in my blood for you.

Dusky maiden
darkhaired siren,
Congo sweet heart
I'm comin' back to you.
Wildeyed woman,
native dreamgirl
Jungle Fever
is in my blood for you.
