Here in the jungle

I can't get a break for love nor money

The weight of the world

Is dragging me down down down

The heat in the bubble

She's coming down on everybody

You better get up

Before the sun goes down.

I get to slip my skin

When my ship came in

What a day now!

I feel as right as rain

But I forgot your name

Qu'est-ce que c'est now?

These are the glory days

For the waifs and the strays

You give me love

I give you thanks and praise.

All the way now!

What a day now!

Don't let me throw it away!

You got the nerve

I got the brains

We got them crawling up and down

On their hands and their knees.

She as my witness

My baby say you'll do the shake for money?

When the weight of the world

Is dragging you down down down

Near in the distance

I see you stumble when the road is rocky

You better get up

Before the sun goes down.

I get to slip my skin

When my ship came in

What a day now!

I feel as right as rain

But I forgot your name

Qu'est-ce que c'est now?

These are the glory days

For the waifs and the strays

You give me love

I give you thanks and praise.

All the way now!

What a day now!

Don't let me throw it away!

You got the nerve

I got the brains

We got them crawling up and down

On their hands and their knees.
