Welcome to the Jungle
Guns N' Roses Lyrics

Oh my god
Expressing shock or surprise

Jump
Encouraging someone to take a risk or leap of faith

Welcome to the jungle, we've got fun and games
Introducing a rough and unpredictable environment that offers excitement and thrills

We got everything you want honey, we know the names
Assuring that all desires can be met and that the group is well-informed

We are the people that can find whatever you may need
Claiming expertise in sourcing and providing resources

If you got the money, honey, we got your disease
Implied that those with the money can obtain anything, even self-destructive tendencies

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Reemphasizing the wild and unpredictable nature of the environment

Watch it bring you to your sha-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n knees, knees
Warning that the jungle has the power to bring one to their lowest point

Mwah, I, I wanna watch you bleed
Suggesting a sadistic desire to witness others suffering in the jungle

Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day
Acknowledging that survival in the jungle requires a cautious and adaptive approach

If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
Stressing the high costs and risks associated with obtaining things in the jungle

And you're a very sexy girl who's very hard to please
Introducing a potential target in the jungle, who is alluring and demanding

You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
Implying that the pleasures of the city are desirable but come with a price

Feel my, my, my, my serpentine
Suggesting the seductive and dangerous nature of the jungle

Ooh, ah, I want to hear you scream
Expressing a desire for a reaction, possibly a terrified one

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day
Admitting that the jungle is progressively dangerous and difficult

You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
Advising that only those who can adapt and embrace primal instincts will survive in the jungle

If you got hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
Claiming that strong desires for things in the jungle will eventually lead to taking action

You can have anything you want but you better not take it from me
Asserting authority over possessions and warning against theft or competition

And when you're high, you never ever wanna come down
Discussing the intoxicating and addictive nature of the jungle

You know where you are?
Acting as a rhetorical question, questioning one's awareness and readiness for the jungle

You're in the jungle, baby, you're gonna die
Using shock and finality to emphasize the jungle's danger and the inevitability of death

Down In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Reinforcing the earlier descriptions of the jungle's fierce qualities

It's gonna bring you down, huh
Finalizing the theme of the song, warning that the jungle will ultimately lead to one's defeat
