Stranded in the Jungle Lyrics by David Johansen

Vinyl (Music From the HBO® Original Series, Vol. 1)

2016

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm stranded in the jungle
I try to keep a date
When my little girl that's back in the States
I stranded in the jungle, I'm afraid and alone
I'm wondering how I'm gon' get that message back home
But how was I to know that the wreckage of my plane
Had been picked up and spotted by the girl on Lover's Lane?
I said, meanwhile, back in the States...
[Chorus 1]
Baby, baby, let's make romance
I says your old time lover hasn't got a chance
I says he's stranded in the jungle, mad as he can be
So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
Well, the boys in the jungle had me on the run
When something heavy hit me like an atomic bomb
I woke up kinda slow, my head starting to clear
I had a strange feeling I'm with cooking gear
I smelled something cooking, I looked around to see
That's when I found out they was cooking me
I said, "Great God! Jiggabunga! Let me out of here!"
[Chorus 1]
So baby, baby, let's make romance
I said your old time lover hasn't got a chance
I said he's stranded in the jungle, mad as he can be
So come on, pretty darling, just-a you and me
[Verse 3]
Meanwhile, back in the jungle...
Well, I jumped out the pot, I tried to get away
I'm frantic and worried 'bout what my baby might say
So I jump in the ocean, I starting to swim
But my chance of survival was getting mighty slim
I thumbed down a whale that was passing my way
I reached the States in about a half a day
I got to Lover's Lane and my soul was dead
My heart was gone and here's what I said
I said
[Chorus 2]
Baby, baby, the man's no good
Whoa whoa, baby, baby, yeah
You shoulda understood
I says you can't trust me for as long as you please
So come on, pretty darling, like you used to be
Cause I love, cause I love you
Cause I love, cause I love you
[Outro]
Don't you know that I love you, baby
Yeah, I love you
Don't you, don't you know I love you, baby
I love, I love you, baby
Baby, baby, I love you
