"The Jungle's No Place for a Boy" is a song from, The Jungle Book Groove Party sung by Bagheera.

Lyrics[]

Bagheera (spoken): It's time you realize the jungle isn't an easy place for a man-cub.

(sung): Well, my

Home is in the jungle

And, although I am quite humble

I am not just another pussycat

When I roar, the ground rumbles

And the feeble-hearted crumble

As I'm a well respected,jungle-savvy cat

But just look at you, Mowgli

Truly anyone can see

That you possess neither the speed

Nor the size

This is no joke, my friend

Yes you'll see, in the end

That you should listen to the words

Of the wise

You may think that we're the same

You may think it's all a game

You may think that it's all only fun and joy

It may not be your taste

But you're going to have to face

that the jungle is no place for a boy

Well, there's touble in the jungle

and sometimes, everybody fumbles

but when I fall I don't get carried away

because some you win and some you lose

But as long as you follow your muse

You'll be singing at the end of the day

But the jungle's full of danger

no, it's no place for a stranger

there are snakes and tigers dying for a snack

and you may think you've reached your goal

you may think you're in control

when you're suddenly knocked down by an attack

You may think that we're the same

You may think it's all a game

You may think that it's all only fun and joy

It may not be your taste

But you're going to have to face

that the jungle is no place for a boy


Well, there are things I do believe in

and there are things I don't believe in

and the line is sometimes fine between right and wrong

and you have to understand if I have to take a stand

It's not because I'm weak it's because I'm strong

and sometimes my heart is broken

and the truth remains unspoken

and it seems to me that it's an unfair fight

But I'll never turn away yes, I am quite proud to say

That I'm a cat that'll roar for what is right

You may think that we're the same

You may think it's all a game

You may think that it's all only fun and joy

It may not be your taste

But you're going to have to face

that the jungle is no place for a boy
