Song lyrics



That morning sun peeks over the mountains
And all the ninos rub their eyes
When they hear
Hear the jungle rhythm.

Those birds are tap-tap-tapping the tree trunks
The busy bee hums as he flies.
Loud and clear
To the jungle rhythm.

Now you can hightail it out of the jungle
But it never leaves your heart.
First you feel that beat start bubbling under
Then you hear the tom toms loud as thunder.

Sounds a lot like being free
When you feel
Feel the jungle rhythm.
Feel the jungle rhythm.

Can't do without rhythm
And when it fills the air.
Animals everywhere join in the dance.

You'll dance along with 'em
Feelin' it steal your soul.
We'll stomp our paws. Flap our wings
Maybe do one or two crazy things.

Boom-a-chaka boom-a-chaka.
Boom-a-chaka boom-a-chaka boom.

Check out those chat-chat-chattering monkeys
Swinging through the banyan trees.
Two by two two by two
To the jungle rhythm.

Sounds like a wolf pack way in the distance
Singing pretty harmonies.
Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo
To the jungle rhythm.

Now, you can hightail it out of the jungle
But it never leaves your heart.
First you feel that beat start bubbling under
Then you hear the tom toms loud as thunder.

Sounds a lot like being free.
When I feel when I feel.
When I feel when I feel.
Feel the jungle rhythm.

Boom shaka-laka boom sh-bop sh-bop.
Boom shaka-laka boom sh-bop sh-bop.

Notes

The song is included in The Jungle Book Movie Songs.

John Goodman recorded his voice work in New Orleans while Haley Joel Osment recorded his in California.

Due to a legal dispute, the character of King Louie from the original Jungle Book could not be included in this film. However, he makes a non-physical appearance as a shadow puppet in the beginning of the film and is briefly mentioned in the middle of the film.

The decision was made to keep Shere Khan in shadow during the beginning of the film to "reflect his 'wounded pride'". (wikipedia)
