Abbey Lincoln - Jungle Queen
I'm the jungle queen
Know what I mean?
★ Verse 1 ★
The original jungle girl
Whose wonderful jungle world
Is filled with everything
Don't you worry
★ Verse 2 ★
Well, life has always been the same
Just like a, a dawning daze
And people come, people go
But what it is, is, is is
★ Verse 3 ★
I'm the jungle lady with the jungle riff
In the jungle, there are secrets
Better watch your step
★ Verse 4 ★
I've got a house that's a round house
With the spiral stair
When you get your business done
We can visit there
★ Verse 5 ★
I'm the original jungle queen
Better grab your britches
There's a monster on the scene
Comin' with the witches
Don't you dawdle, don't you dare
There's a path right over there
★ Verse 6 ★
I'm the jungle queen
Know what I mean?
Gotta go now
'Cause the jungle king is waiting
