Jungle Moon 1909

When the moon was rising,
clear and bright,
flooding all the jungle
with its light,
used to come a Zulu ev'ry night
to woo, and win a maid.
Daughter of the old chief Zingazoo
she would listen to him as he'd woo,
and the wise old moon would listen too
as he would serenade.

My heart is ringing
my love I'm bringing
to you I'm singing
'neath the jungle moon,
The dew is falling
nightbirds are calling
because they know
you will be with me mighty soon,
come out and meet me sweetheart
and greet me
with kisses sweetly
for I long to spoon,
in all its glory
I tell the story
of how I love you to the jungle moon.

My heart is ringing
my love I'm bringing
to you I'm singing
'neath the jungle moon,
The dew is falling
nightbirds are calling
because they know
you will be with me mighty soon,
come out and meet me sweetheart
and greet me
with kisses sweetly
for I long to spoon,
in all its glory
I tell the story
of how I love you to the jungle moon.

Jungle moon is looking down on you,
and it knows I love you,
love you true,
Jungle moon is smiling on us too,
night times the time to spoon.
Breezes lend enchantment to our love
stars are gleaming on us up above,
only two things I am thinking of
you and the jungle moon.

My heart is ringing
my love I'm bringing
to you I'm singing
'neath the jungle moon,
The dew is falling
nightbirds are calling
because they know
you will be with me mighty soon,
come out and meet me sweetheart
and greet me
with kisses sweetly
for I long to spoon,
in all its glory
I tell the story
of how I love you to the jungle moon.

My heart is ringing
my love I'm bringing
to you I'm singing
'neath the jungle moon,
The dew is falling
nightbirds are calling
because they know
you will be with me mighty soon,
come out and meet me sweetheart
and greet me
with kisses sweetly
for I long to spoon,
in all its glory
I tell the story
of how I love you to the jungle moon.
