Said the mamba snake to the cockatoo
I can't get no sleep like I used to do
All night long, the wild boys run through the streets
They're shootin' up the night, I listen to them fightThere's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fightin', nobody knows why
Why, why, why?At dawn the refugees are seekin' shelter
And from the violence of the night they run in fright helter skelter
From the volatile eruption and the wolves of war
Nurse their young famine and destructionThere's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fightin' nobody knows why
Why, why, why?There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Everybody's fightin', fightin' know whyNo, no, there's is no peace in the jungle
The peace in the jungle when the moon is high
Watch the war babies go hungry and cry
There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is, the moon is high
Everybody's fightin' and don't know why, why?Don't knows why
