  • Ever see the Congo when it's gleamin' in the night?
    Ever see the jungle with the animals in fright?
    Put me in the Congo and the jungle and I'm right

    Got that fever, jungle fever
    Oh, you know the reason that I long to go

    Dusky maiden, dark-haired siren
    Congo sweetheart, I'm comin' back to you
    Wild eyed woman, native dream girl
    Jungle fever is in my blood for you

    Ever hear a kettle drum a-poundin' out a beat?
    Ever fight the silence and the madness and the heat?
    That's the thrill I'm cravin' and the music is so sweet

    Got that fever, jungle fever
    Oh, the Congo's callin' and I long to go

    Dusky maiden, dark-haired siren
    Congo sweetheart, I'm comin' back to you
    Wild eyed woman, native dream girl
    Jungle fever is in my blood for you

    Put me in the Congo and the jungle and I'm right Writer/s: Howard Dietz, Walter Donaldson
