lyrics

Why ain't you back in Bombay?
Go on and spit out your words
I don't care what the natives say
It ain't as safe as you heard
It's the jungle
Where'd the sun go?
We're too late to make the village
We'll have to rough it tonight
There's a tiger on the prowl
And he's setting the birds all aflutter
Don't let that cat get your tongue,
He'll make you t-t-t-t-t-t stutter
T-t-t-t-t-t-tuh, t-t-t-t-t

If you're nervous, greenhorn
You might be out of your league
To catch a star being born
You've got to move at lightspeed
If that spotlight
Is too bright for you
The medic can give you the Heimlich
And a pat on the back
Yeah, the ones that are remembered do
What's never been done by another
So don't just bring them to their feet
Make 'em t-t-t-t-t-t stutter
T-t-t-t-t-t-tuh, t-t-t-t-t-t-tuh

To catch lightning in a bottle
When it's coming
You can't be running for cover
You've got to shout out at the storm
Hit me
T-t-t-t-t-t stutter
T-t-t-t-t-t-tuh
T-t-t-t-t-t-tuh
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
