Lyrics
I hear drums, I hear saxophones I hear brass, I hear slide-trombones In my bed, there's all kinds of tones I got jungle fever In my head

I want jazz, but it's rock instead I got jungle fever In my head

All the hip hippopotamus And the swinging rhinoceros Have a session every night The baboons say it's out of sight

Well the big... A one, a two, the kangaroo Grabs his trumpet and hits high C And the tiger starts singing 'Cause that's his key The baby elephant on bass horn Said "please Mr. Lion, don't you play no corn" Dig that monkey in his tuxedo He's all smiles, 'cause he's the leader

I hear bands They see endless brown And now I'm getting signals From the Satchmo sound Lawrence Welk? How did he get in there? Ooh, there's jungle fever everywhere!

Ooh, with all of them fine, crazy sounds runnin' through my head I think I'm gonna become musical, mezmerize, and Lay down here and kinda Rip off a little Rip Van Winkle (snores) Yeah I got news for you, Rip I'm gonna rip your record Oh yeah, Rip. Rip, I'm gonna bust your record on one side. It ain't even gonna turn over, baby. How sweet it is. Mmmm.... There's a fly on my nose, but I ain't gonna let him wake me.
