Lyrics[]
In the middle of the jungle
On a Saturday night
When the animals are sleeping
And the moon is bright
If you listen real close
You hear a jungle beat
That makes you want to snap your fingers
And a-shuffle your feet
You sneak into the underbrush
And shimmy shimmy shimmy along
Your mind is going loco, boob leablah, cocomoco
With the uga booga jungle song
And you know you gotta find it
If you're gonna survive
'Cause your body's got the fever and it's
Gonna drive you wild
It's the go-go-go guerrillas
The revolutionary five-man live jive band
A band of go-go-go guerrillas
They got a fire fighting style
A dynamite sound
The things that they are playing
Gonna turn your head around
They got a rhythm that'll burn you
And beat that can kill
Everyone in town is flocking around those
Go-go-go-go-go killer guerrillas
You're running 'round in circles
But you can't see a thing
Looking for the sound that
Makes the jungle folk swing
You're just about to give it up
And call it a night
When up ahead behind a tree
You see the most amazing sight
You sneak into the underbrush
And shimmy shimmy shimmy along
Your mind is going loco, boob leablah, cocomoco
With the uga booga cooka mooga
Missaluba jungle song
And you know you gotta find it
If you're gonna survive
'Cause your body's got the fever and it's
Gonna drive you wild
It's the go-go-go guerrillas
The revolutionary five-man live jive band
A band of go-go-go guerrillas
They got a fire fighting style and
A dynamite sound
The things that they are playing
Gonna turn your head around
Keep on truckin', truckin' in the war zone
Squattin' on a tombstone
Gonna get my head blown
Truckin' in the war zone
Well there's no zone like the ozone
Ooh bliabla saki o thalidomide and Nagasaki
Hiroshima too
I'm a big mutation and so are you
