Moonlight in Jungleland
Words and Music by James E. Dempsey and Johann C. Schmid
Verse 1: Night shades falling,
And the Jungle moon will soon be shining,
Jungle hearts will soon be pining,
Jungle eyes will soon be shining, too,
In the moonlight,
Jungleland will be a land of wooing,
In each shady nook, beside each babbling brookk,
Fond Jungle sweethearts will be cooing;
Chorus: Moonlight in Jungleland
Moonlight and love,
In the Jungle glade each monkey maid
Is somebody's turtle dove,
Lovely Miss Kangaroo,
Spoons on the sand
With a Chimpanazee her affinity,
When it's moonlight in Jungleland.
Schottische
Verse 2: Moon is waning,
Jungleland will soon be dark and dreary,
Jungle eyes are growing weary,
Time to say goodnight to dearie, too,
Soon in slumber,
Each one for their true love will be pining,
Dreaming o'er again the love tales whispered,
When the Jungle moon was softly shining;
Chorus: Moonlight in Jungleland
Moonlight and love,
In the Jungle glade each monkey maid
Is somebody's turtle dove,
Lovely Miss Kangaroo,
Spoons on the sand
With a Chimpanazee her affinity,
When it's moonlight in Jungleland.
Schottische
