But please try looking for it on your own before you holler for me
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Summer swelters in Charlotte without a ba-ba-ba-ba bree - breeze
I wanna watch you read [where is that list?]
Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
If you want to go to the pool again you better find another way
And you're a very busy boy, at Freedom Park or Hubbie Dees
You’d love to live at Carowinds but do you get that it’s not free?
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Has anyone seen my 50+ sunscreen?
Summer makes me want to scream!
Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here everyday
You learn to survive the humidity with a movie at Phillips Place
If you got a hunger I think you can make your own grilled cheese
Sure, you can build that fort outside just please don’t kill the tree
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
Is it too much to ask for a little ba-ba-ba-ba bree- breeze?
I'm gonna watch you read [honey, SportsCenter ticker doesn’t count]
And when you're high on the zip-line you never want to come down
So down, so down, so down, yeah
You know where you are?
You're at the Whitewater Center, you gonna cliiiimb!
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
I’m dyin’ for an icy diet coke and a ba-ba-ba-ba bree - breeze
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
My house smells like coconuts and chlorine
Jungle welcome to the jungle
Duke Energy will count its dough I’ll get my fa-fa-fa-fa free- freeze
Down in the jungle welcome to the jungle
Watch it bring you inside to survive
Watch me turn that thermostat down, ha!!
[what do you mean, it’s too cold to read??]
