"The Jungle" lyrics - ASHFORD & SIMPSON

Keep your face up
Don't ya be looking down
Hear a noise turn your head around
That's a fact got to know
How to act
In the jungle

Everybody say's gimme, gimme
So keep yourself a mystery
Be discreet with people you meet
In the jungle

Different stories
Different games
But remember they're all the same
Peole connive
To stay alive
But there's one golden rule
Everybody's got to pay their dues
In the jungle, in the jungle

Never say what you will or won't do
And don't trust anybody who
Looks away with every word they say
In the jungle

Use your instinct, never follow your mind
The right place but the wrong time
Is disaster
You got to think faster
In the jungle

Different stories
Different games
But remember they're all the same
People connive
To stay alive
But there's one golden rule
Everybody's got to pay their dues
In the jungle, in the jungle
