I may go and move to the jungle now 
Way out in the woods 
Yes, I think I'll move to the jungle people 
Move way out in the woods 
Yes, because the way things are here now 
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good 

I work hard everyday 
From Monday to Friday night 
The wages that they pay me 
I swear that they're very light 
The take out a little for the state 
A little more for Uncle Sam 

How can I ever catch up 
And get myself out of this jam 
Yes, I think I'll move to the jungle 
Move way out in the woods 
Yes, because the way things are here now 
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good 

I go to town on Saturday 
Just to pay my bills 
I better make it early 
Or the collector will come where I live 

I got to church on a Sunday 
I get on my knees to pray 
Preacher takes up collection 
And say brother what will you pay 

I think I'll move to the jungle 
Move way out in the woods 
Yes, because the way things are here now 
Well, I ain't doin' myself no good
