A

Welcome to the jungle.  We got fun'n'games

We got everything you want.  Honey, we know the names.

E

We are the people that can find whatever you may need.

If you got the money, honey, we got your disease.

 

CHORUS:

C              D

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle,

E

Watch it bring you to your knees, knees.  I wanna watch you bleed.

 

Welcome to the jungle.  We take it day by day.

If you want it you're gonna bleed, but it's the price you pay.

And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please.

You can taste the bright lights but you won't get them for free.

Feel my, my, my serpentine.  I, I wanna hear your scream.

 

Welcome to the jungle.  It gets worse here everyday.

Ya learn ta 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.
