Welcome To The Jungle
Richard Cheese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aah
Welcome to the jungle
We've got fun and games
We got everything you want, honey
We know the names

We are the people that can find
Whatever you may need
If you got the money, honey
We got your disease

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
Na, na, na, na, knees, knees (ah)
I wanna watch you bleed

Aah, ah, ah, ah

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
Sha, na, na, na, na
Sha, na, na, na, na, knees (mwah)
I'm gonna watch you bleed

And when you're high you never
Ever wanna come down
So down
So down
So down, yeah (whoa-ooh)

Pardon me, do you know where you are?
You're in the jungle, baby
You're gonna die (ooh-ah, ah, ah)

In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you to your
Na, na, na, na, knees





Watch it bring you down
Uh

Overall Meaning

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses is a classic rock song that sends a message about the dangers of the wild and savage city streets. While Richard Cheese's version seems like a lighthearted parody, its lyrics still hold the same weight and meaning as the original. The opening lines of "Welcome to the Jungle" set the tone for the song, inviting the listener to enter a place that seems exciting and full of possibilities— the jungle. However, the welcoming tone quickly changes with the next line, "We've got fun and games," and the lyrics reveal that the jungle is not a fun and playful place. Instead, it's a place where people can find anything they want, including drugs and other vices that come with a steep cost. The people in the jungle can find and offer whatever you may need, but if you got the money, they got your disease. It's a powerful commentary on the dangers of excess.


Later on, the lyrics ask, "Pardon me, do you know where you are?" and answer with the statement, "You're in the jungle, baby; you're going to die." This line sums up the song and its message incredibly well. The jungle is a dangerous, deadly place to be, and it's easy to fall into vices that can kill you. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Watch it bring you to your ... knees," which implies that life on the streets will beat you down until you're left defenseless and vulnerable. The song closes with the reminder that the highs and thrills that the jungle can offer come at a cost, and when you're up high, you never want to come down.
