I was standing in the jungle I was feeling all right I was wandering in the darkness In the middle of the night The moon began to shine I saw a clearing ahead But what's that going on I think I'm outta my head Chooka chooka, hoo la ley Looka looka, koo la ley A hundred animals were Gathered 'round this night And they were singin' out A lovely song under the pale moonlight I stood and stared for quite a while Then a lion sang to me and smiled "Come join us if you so desire" They sang: Chooka chooka, hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka, koo la ley (And it started to rain) Chooka chooka, hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka, koo la ley I said, "Now please explain The meaning of this song you sing Mm-hmm, mm-hmm" "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along" They sang: Chooka chooka, hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka, koo la ley And they danced! Pretty soon, I knew the tune And we sat and sang under the moon And the jungle rang in joyful harmony They sang: Chooka chooka, hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka, koo la ley (And it started to rain) Chooka chooka hoo la ley (That's what they sang) Looka looka, koo la ley "Wondrous is our great blue ship That sails around the mighty sun And joy to everyone that rides along" Chooka-chooka, hoo-la-ley...
