Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh my God

Jump

[Verse 1]

Welcome to the jungle, we 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

[Chorus 1]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, knees, knees

Mwah, ah, I wanna watch you bleed

[Verse 2]

Welcome to the jungle, we take it day by day

If you want it you're going to bleed, but it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl, it's very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights, but you won't get there for free

[Chorus 2]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my, my serpentine

Oh, ah, I wanna hear you scream

[Interlude]

Moaning

[Verse 3]

Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here everyday

You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see, you'll take it eventually

You can have anything you want, but you better not take it from me

[Chorus 1]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, knees, knees

Mwah, I wanna watch you bleed

[Bridge]

And when you're high, you never

Ever want to come down

So down, so down, so down, yeah

[Segue]

You know where you are?

You're in the jungle, baby

You're gonna die

[Chorus Extended]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, knees, knees

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Feel my, oh my, my, my serpentine

Jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your shun-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n, knees, knees

[Outro]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your, it's going to bring you down, huh
