Well, my home is in the jungle
and, although I am quite humble
I am not just another pussycat.
When I roar,the ground rumbles
and the feeble-hearted crumble
as I'm a well respected,jungle-savvy cat.
But just look at you, Mowgli truly anyone can see
that you possess neither the speed nor the size.
This is no joke, my friend, yes you'll see, in the end
that you should listen to the words of the wise.
You may think that we're the same.
You may think it's all a game.
You may think that it's all only fun and joy.
It may not be your taste
but you're going to have to face
that the jungle is no place for a boy.
Well, there's trouble in the jungle
and sometimes, everybody fumbles
but when I fall I don't get carried away.
Because some you win and some you lose
but as long as you follow your muse
you'll be singing at the end of the day.
But the jungle's full of danger
no, it's no place for a stranger
there are snakes and tigers dying for a snack.
And you may think you've reached your goal
you may think you're in control
when you're suddenly knocked down by an attack.
You may think that we're the same.
You may think it's all a game.
You may think that it's all only fun and joy.
It may not be to your taste
but you're going to have to face
that the jungle is no place for a boy.
Well, there are things I do believe in
and there are things I don't believe in
and the line is sometimes fine between right and wrong
and you have to understand if I have to take a stand
it's not because I'm weak it's because I'm strong.
And sometimes my heart is broken
and the truth remains unspoken
and it seems to me that it's an unfair fight.
But I'll never turn away, yes, I am quite proud to say,
that I'm a cat that'll roar for what is right.
You may think that we're the same.
You may think it's all a game.
You may think that it's all only fun and joy.
It may not be your taste
but you're going to have to face
that the jungle is no place for a boy!
