🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
  • Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
  • Mwah, I, I wanna watch you bleed
  • Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day

Echo the hook

  • Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
  • Ooh, ah, I want to hear you scream
  • Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day
  • You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
