I'm a ^C#mtour ^Bguide on the ^AJungle Cruise ^Eride ^ASkipper ^EDan is the ^Bname

And I'm ^C#mdoing ^B34 ^Ashows every ^Eday, and ^Aevery ^Etime it's the ^Bsame ^C#mLook at those ^Bhippos, they're ^Awiggling their ^Eears

^AJust like they've done for the ^Blast 50 years Now I'm ^C#mlaughing at my ^Bown jokes, but I'm ^Acrying in^Eside

A B BACK TO INTRO/VERSE RIFF 'Cause I'm working on the Jungle Cruise ride VERSE 2 (Con't Riff throughout) Oh the critics they used to say, I was the new Olivier Thought I'd be the toast of Sundance, or maybe Cannes PRECHORUS

Ah, but don't ^Ebother trying to ^AIMD^E5B me, The ^Eonly place you might ^Apossibly ^E5see me,

Is ^Eriding my little ^Aboat around Adventure^Eland, It ain't ^Aexactly what I planned but

CHORUS

I'm a ^C#mtour ^Bguide on the ^AJungle Cruise ^Eride ^ASkipper ^EDan is the ^Bname

And I'm ^C#mdoing ^B34 ^Ashows every ^Eday, and ^Aevery ^Etime it's the ^Bsame ^C#mI would've ^Bkilled if I'd ^Abeen in Speed-the-^EPlow

^ABut what's the difference that's ^Ball behind me now 'Cause I'm ^C#mpaying the ^Brent and I'm ^Aswallowing my ^Epride

And I'm ^Aworking on the ^BJungle Cruise ^Eride

BRIDGE (KEY CHANGE TO G)

^G I should be there on ^ABroadway, knocking 'em ^Ddead in 12 Angry ^BmMen ^G But instead I'm here ^Atelling these lame jokes

(BACK TO KEY OF E)

^BAgain, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again!

REPEAT CHORUS CHORDS FROM EARLIER OVER THE JUNGLE JOKES [Bengal tigers can jump over 20 feet... That's an African Bull-Elephant... There it is the backside of water! What have I done with my life?] LAST CHORUS W/ CHANGE

^C#mI should've ^Blistened when my ^AGrandfather ^Esaid ^AWhy don't you major in ^Bbusiness instead?

Now my ^C#mhopes are ^Bvanished and my ^Adreams have all ^Edied A B <----Chord change in this part of Chorus And I'll probably work forever as a

^C#mTour ^Bguide on the ^AJungle Cruise ^Eride ^ASkipper ^EDan is the ^Bname

And I'm ^C#mdoing ^B34 ^Ashows every ^Eday, and ^Aevery time it's the ^Bsame ^C#mLook at those ^Bhippos, they're ^Awiggling their ^Eears

^ASomebody shoot me 'cause ^BI'm bored to tears! Always ^C#msaid I'd be ^Bfamous, I ^Aguess that I ^Elied

'Cause I'm ^Aworking on the ^BJungle Cruise ^C#mride I'm still ^Aworking on the ^BJungle Cruise ^Eride!
