[Intro]
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Boo

Li-li-lion, lion's in the jungle
Jungle's in a cage
Tra-tra-trouble, trouble in the homelands
Trouble in the homelands makes front page

Zu-zu-lu come out to play
Bongo drums said today
Front page caption read like this
Natives dress as terrorists

Tribal war a perfect plan for the one that damned the land
Since that ain't you or me, tribal war continually
Powdered milk for malnutrition, send us some more ammunition
Never mind the ivory trade, let's go plant a hand grenade

Thank you, boss, for Red Cross
Appreciate good will
No, no, no stomach for our loss
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel quite ill

I-I-I'd rally round the flag
Rally round the flag, but we got so many
I guess that's why, why you act
Like we ain't got any

Tarzan has come home again, heard the news diamond vein
Had to split, no room to swing, Sun City wanted him to sing
Easy to see no unity, masses ruled by minority
When these guys come on the scene, ruined a good blues party

[Audio samples]

"I know I've heard the tune before"
I thought as I was kicked through the door
Something 'bout admission fee
But I was sure, house belong to me

They told us to go in stereo
Machine guns 'gainst spear and bow
Egged on by TV cameraman
Someone called the teargas van

White knight write our wrongs, lyrics for the protest song
Number one top of the charts, rock 'n' roll bleeding hearts
They offer us a special patch, knew there had to be a catch
Family tree pulled at the root, they still bear that old strange fruit

Plenty reason, plenty reason to be glum
Living by the gun down in a slum
Stake your claim blow by blow
Saw my pals go flying through the window

Li-li-lion, lion's in the jungle
Jungle's in a cage
Tra-tra-trouble, trouble in the homelands
Trouble in the homelands, bosses in a rage

I know, mister, if it was you, it would be cut down like a flower
Some things never change, corporate crime gets free range
Only out for personal gain, grab the land and seize the power
What's all this about big game, don`t you know the lion's tame?

Llama
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay
Ay, ay ay, ay ay ay

I says-a
Lion in the jungle
Jungle in a cage
Trouble in the homeland
Makes front page

Tribal war a master plan
Spear and bow, live like bums
Stake your claim, blow by blow
Puerto Rico, gonna go
I got fears economy
[?]…
Zulu, come and play
That’s the team I have today
Stop the press, roll the world
Stop the disappointment, girls
Vichy paper read like this
Zulu is terrorist
Powdered milk, malnutrition
What we need is more ammunition

Thank you, boss, for Red Cross
No, no, no stomach for our loss
Lion, jungle
Jungle in a cage
Trouble in the homeland
Makes front page

Easy to see no unity, masses ruled by minority
Tell us to go in stereo
TV camera and video
Zulu, come to play
M-16 makes tough today
Y-e-s, you feel ill
White man on top of …hill
Tribal war, a master plan
Spear and bow, living like bum
Stake your claim blow by blow
Pure misery, …
I have fears, economy
Is proven by…
Lion, jungle
Jungle in a cage
Trouble in the homeland
Makes front page
