Jungle Rhythm
[Disney] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That morning sun peeks over the mountains
And all the rhinos rub their eyes
When they hear (hear what?)
Hear the jungle rhythm

Those birds are tap-tap-tappin' the tree trunks
The busy bee hums as he flies
Loud and clear
To the jungle rhythm

Now you can hightail it out of the jungle
But it never leaves your heart
First you feel that beat start
bubbling under
Then you hear the tom-toms
Loud as thunder

(it's moving me!)
Sounds a lot like being free
When you feel
Feel the jungle rhythm
Feel the jungle rhythm

(come on, Shanti!)

Can't do without rhythm
And when it fills the air
Animals everywhere
Join in the dance

You'll dance along with 'em
Feeling it steal your soul
We'll stomp our paws!
Flap our wings!
Maybe do one or two crazy things

Kan Khan!
Yeah that's it!
Uh ha, uh ha!

Check out those chat-chat-chattering monkeys
Swinging through the banyan trees
Two by two (two by two)
To the jungle rhythm

Sounds like a wolf pack
Way in the distance
Singing pretty harmonies
Woo-woo-woo (woo-woo-woo)
To the jungle rhythm

Yeah! That's it!

Now you can hightail it out of the jungle
But it never leaves your heart
First you feel that beat start
Bubbling under
Then you hear the tom toms
Loud as thunder

(it's moving me!)

Sounds a lot like being free
When I feel (When I feel)




(When I feel) (When I feel)
Feel the jungle rhythmmmm (x5)

If there is ever a Jungle Book world in the Kingdom Hearts games Sora has to sing this (since it is his voice actor Haley Joel Osment singing ;) )
