Welcome to the jungle

We got fun and games

We got everything you want

Honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find

Whatever you may need

If you got no money, honey

We got your disease

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your knees, knees

Oh, I wanna watch you bleed

Welcome to the jungle

We take it day by day

If you want it you're gonna bleed

But it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl

That's very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights

But you won't get them for free

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my, my serpentine

I, I wanna hear you scream

Welcome to the jungle

It gets worse here everyday

Ya learn to live like an animal

In the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see

You'll take it eventually

You can have anything you want

But you better not take it from me

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your knees, knees

Oh, I wanna watch you bleed

And when you're high, you never

Ever want to come down

So down, so down, so down, yeah!

You know where you are

You're in the jungle, baby

You're gonna die

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my serpentine

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your knees, knees

In the jungle

Welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your

It's gonna bring you down

Ha!
