Carl of the Jungle

Lyrics

A man went to Africa to meet with the primitive
 The man was very brave and not afraid
 Didn't come there to enslave anyone
 And it scared him, and though it sacred him
 His intuition told him he'd better go
 Back to Vienna
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Now the man was eager to find out all about the primitive mind
 He was very sensitive, was very patient
 Realised that he was looking into a mirror at himself
 And it scared him, and though it sacred him
 His intuition told him he'd better go
 Back to Vienna
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Now he asked the native wise men, what do your dreams tell you now
 They said "Since the white man came we're no longer able to dream
 The white man knows it all"
 And that scared him, and though it sacred him
 He began havin' dreams himself that told him he'd better go
 Back to Vienna
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Now he thought about the primitive mind and he read about the ancient times
 But when he slipped back a few thousand years and his heart locked up
 He realizd it was powerful stuff
 And it scared him, you know it sacred him
 His intuition told him he'd better go
 Back to Vienna
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Back to the white man
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Back to Vienna
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
 Up North
 (Go back, go back)
 (Go back, go back)
