Jingle Jangle Jungle Lyrics
Bobby Darin
I live in a jingle jangle jungle
If you ain't got it you can't be
Fightin' over crumbs
Wait till payday comes
Gettin' green ink thumbs
From countin'
While it's mountin'
In this jingle jangle jungle I call home.
You live in a jingle jangle jungle
If you can't earn it you ain't free
Where a life is spent
Tryin' to meet the rent
Payin' back the cent
You borrow
Some tomorrow
In this jingle jangle jungle you call home.
We live in a jingle jangle jungle
You're only worth what you can buy
So keep on workin' hard
To keep your own back yard
Teach your kids that God
Ain't fiction
Contradiction
In this jingle jangle jungle you call home.
I live in a jingle jangle jungle
If it don't jingle it's gonna fold
All the things you own
Are only here on loan
It's by bread alone
You're livin'
Call this livin'
In this jingle jangle jungle we call home.
I live in a jingle jangle jungle
Where people die to make some green
Turnin' men to boys
Makin' new war toys
Dancin' to the noise
Of ticker
Can't get much sicker
In this jingle jangle jungle we can home.
