Carl Of The Jungle Lyrics - Rick Nelson

A man went to Africa to meet with the primitive 

The man was very brave and not afraid 

Didn't come there to enslave anyone. 

And it scared him, and though it sacred him 

His intuition told him he'd better go 

Back to Vienna 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back.) 

Now the man was eager to find out all about the primitive mind 

He was very sensitive, was very patient 

Realised that he was looking into a mirror at himself. 

And it scared him, and though it sacred him 

His intuition told him he'd better go 

Back to Vienna 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back.) 

Now he asked the native wise men, what do your dreams tell you now 

They said "Since the white man came we're no longer able to dream 

The white man knows it all." 

And that scared him, and though it sacred him 

He began havin' dreams himself that told him he'd better go 

Back to Vienna 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back.) 

Now he thought about the primitive mind 

And he read about the ancient times 

But when he slipped back a few thousand years 

And his heart locked up 

He realizd it was powerful stuff. 

And it scared him, you know it sacred him 

His intuition told him he'd better go 

Back to Vienna 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back.) 

Back to the white man 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back) 

Back to Vienna 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back) 

Up North 

(Go back, go back) 

(Go back, go back...)
