JUNGLE JIM
Words and Music by Dave Rudolf

Jimmy’s a boy who lives down de street, he got a wonderful thing
It’s a gym set from his parents, with slides and ropes and swings.
Now all de kids wish they could have one, they all envy him
The way he swoops and hangs in the air, they call him Jungle Jim.

Chorus

Everybody say, Oh,  just like a monkey out on a limb
Everybody say, Oh, grab de rope and swing with Jungle Jim

Now Jimmy’s got friends he never knew, they lined up down de streets.
They want to climb his brand new toy, so they suddenly are sweet.
Now kids who never said hello act like his long lost pals,
And girls who used to stick up their nose, are now his lovely gals.

Chorus

Betty she gets up to de top, she makes a big mistake.
She looks straight down to de very bottom and slams on de brakes.
Now all de kids the call up to her, “Come on down de slide”
She shuts her eyes to take de plunge, now she wants another ride.

Chorus
