Ricky Nelson - Carl Of The Jungle lyrics

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)
