Lemme outta here!      An' meanwhile, back in the States      Baby, baby, let's make romance   You know your old-time lover hasn't got a chance   He's stranded in the jungle, as mad as he can be   So come on pretty baby, just you and me      An' meanwhile, back in the jungle      I jumped out the pot and I finally got away   Frantic and worried about what my baby would say   So I jumped in the ocean and started to swim   But my chance of survival was getting mighty slim      So I thumbed down a whale who was headin' my way   And I reached the States in about half a day   And when I got to Lover's Lane I was almost dead   But my soul was gone and here's what I said      Chorus:   Baby, baby, the man is no good   Oh baby baby, you should have understood   You can trust me as long as you please   So come back pretty baby where you used to be   'Cause I love you      FADES      'Cause I love you    'Cause I love you      ~
