Said the mamba snake to the cockatoo   I can't get no sleep like I used to do   All night long, the wild boys run through the streets   They're shootin' up the night, I listen to them fight      There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Watch the war babies go hungry and cry   There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Everybody's fightin', nobody knows why   Why, why, why?      At dawn the refugees are seekin' shelter   And from the violence of the night they run in fright helter skelter   From the volatile eruption and the wolves of war   Nurse their young famine and destruction      There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Watch the war babies go hungry and cry   There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Everybody's fightin' nobody knows why   Why, why, why?      There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Watch the war babies go hungry and cry   There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Everybody's fightin', fightin' know why      No, no, there's is no peace in the jungle   The peace in the jungle when the moon is high   Watch the war babies go hungry and cry   There's no peace in the jungle when the moon is, the moon is high   Everybody's fightin' and don't know why, why?      Don't knows why
