Lyrics
- Night shades falling
And the Jungle moon will soon be shining
Jungle hearts will soon be pining
Jungle eyes will soon be shining, too
In the moonlight
Jungle land will be a land of wooing
In each shady nook beside each babbling brook
Fond Jungle sweethearts will be cooing
Chorus
Moonlight in Jungle land
Moonlight and love
In the Jungle glade each monkey maid
Is somebody’s turtle dove
Lovely Miss Kangaroo
Spoons on the sand
With a Chimpanzee her affinity
When it’s moonlight in Jungle land
- Moon is waning
Jungle land will soon be dark and dreary
Jungle eyes are growing weary
Time to say goodnight to dearie, too
Soon in slumber
Each one for their true love will be pining
Dreaming o’er again the love tales whispered
When the Jungle moon was softly shining
