G D A D
A D F#m Bm
I was standin' in the jungle, I was feelin' alright
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
I was wanderin' in the darkness, in the middle of the night
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
The moon began to shine, I saw a clearing ahead
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
But what's that going on, I think I'm out of my head
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley
D A D A
Looka looka koo la ley
A D F#m Bm
A hundred animals were gathered 'round this night
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
And they were singing out a lovely song under the pale moonlight
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m Bm
I stood and stared for quite a while
F#m Bm
Then a lion sang to me and smiled
G D A D A
"Come join us if you so desire."
They sang
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D A D A
Looka looka koo la ley (and they turned away)
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)

Looka looka koo la ley
A D F#m Bm
I said now please explain the meaning of this song you sing
G D A D
Mmmhmmm, Mmmhmmm
A D F#m
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
Bm G
That sails around the mighty sun
D A D A
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
Oh, they sang
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D A D A
Looka looka koo la ley
Oh that's nice!
And THEY DANCED!
A D F#m Bm
Pretty soon I knew the tune and
We sat and sang under the moon
D A D A
And the jungle rang in joyful harmony
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
Looka looka koo la ley (and they turned away)
A D F#m Bm
Chooka chooka hoo la ley (that's what they sang)
D A D A
Looka looka koo la ley
A D F#m
"Wondrous is our great blue ship
Bm G
That sails around the mighty sun
D A
And joy to everyone that rides along!"
(Chooka chooka hoo la ley)
