It's a Jungle Out There

"It's a jungle out there," I've heard folks say,
"Why, it's getting tougher everyday."
They just go on fussin' and cryin',
But I kinda like it cause I'm a lion.

Lions, as you know are of medium size,
And can't run as fast as some other guys.
We'd look real silly swinging branch to branch,
So we just hang around till we find a chance.

Here in the jungle there's a simple rule,
"Just keep your eyes open and play it cool."
If you think complaining will make you a winner,
A lion will enjoy you as a very nice dinner.

"It's a jungle out there and it's exciting.
But you can't enjoy it by kicking and fighting.
Life's never easy but just keep on tryin.'
I know, for that is how I became a lion.

Jungle opportunity is running wild
So jump aboard and be a Jungle Child!
Then smile as you say, "Yes, here's the thing:
It's a jungle out there and I'm gonna be king."
