(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
I crashed in the jungle
While trying to keep my date,
With my little girl
Who was back in the States,
I was stranded in the jungle,
Afraid and alone,
Trying to figure a way
To get a message back home,
But how was I to know
That the wreckage of my plane
Had been fixed by my partner
Who had my girl in Lover's Lane.
"Meanwhile, back in the States"...

Baby, baby, let's make romance,
Your old time lover hasn't got a chance.
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be,
So come on pretty baby, just you and me.
"Meanwhile, back in the jungle"...

(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
The boys in the jungle
Had me on the run,
When somethin' heavy hit me
Like an atomic bomb,
When I woke up
And my head started to clear
And I had a strange feelin'
I was in cooking gear,
I smelled something cookin'
And I looked to see,
That's when I found out
They were cookin' me!
"Meanwhile, back in the States"...

Baby, baby, let's make romance,
Your old time lover hasn't got a chance.
He's stranded in the jungle sad as he can be,
So come on pretty baby, just you and me.
"Meanwhile, back in the jungle"...

(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
(Aw. .. .. .. ..)
I jumped out of the pot
And I fin'lly got away,
Frantic with worry,
Wondrin' what my babe would say,
So I jumped in the ocean
And started to swim,
But my chances of survival
Was gettin' mighty slim,
So I thumbed down a whale
Who was headin' my way,
And I reached the States
In a half a day.
When I got to Lover's Lane
I was almost dead,
But I saw what was going on
And here's what I said:

Baby, baby, the man is no good,
Oh, baby, baby, you should have understood.
You can trust me as long as I'm free,
So come back, pretty baby,
Where you used to be,
'Cause I love you.
'Cause I love you.
