Utter tosh but it fits

In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight (ho, ho)
Wee-hee-hee-hee (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Wee-oh aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Wee-hee-hee-hee (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
Wee-oh aweem away (a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh)
 
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for the runaway bus
'Cause those rosy days are few
And stop apologising
For the things you've never done
'Cause time is short
And life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called Malice
 
One soft infested summer, me and Terry became friends
Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in
Catching rides to the outskirts, tying faith between our teeth
Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house, getting wasted in the heat
 
Can't find my way down my own street,
Got to get my dream feet back on its feet.
I'm trapped in my house
On first name terms with its mouse.
Don't sav this house is a shack.
We had it once, can I get it back?
It's a fine line between love and despair;
Do you know the times I've waited on your stair?
Don't say you've got a home and new life,
I won't stand in your way 'cause
You’re someone else’s wife
 
Oh no, pretty maiden that never shall be
For I’ve a wife now in London and children twice three
Two wives and the army’s too many for me.
 
My life is changing in so many ways
I don't know who to trust anymore
There's a shadow runnin' through my days
Like a beggar goin' from door to door
I was thinking that maybe I'd get a maid
Find a place nearby for her to stay
Just someone to keep my house clean
Fix my meals and go away
 
No need to tell me, you'd like to be friends
And help me get back on my feet again
If I miss you at all, it's just now and then
Just once in a very blue moon
 
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said: "You know you always have the Lord by your side"
And I was so pleased to be informed of this that I ran
Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you Lord
 
Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets, towers, tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags, rags, ferryboats
Scimitars and stars
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
 
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up
