The moon is a drop in a black hole The sun is a hell of a light But nobody's blue is brighter Than the blue in my baby tonight A man is a snake in the autumn Maybe dew [Baby-do] is making him wretch Oh man was it dark in the jungle His heart is an empty fretch A man is a duck in the jungle Who's lost in the big bamboo Snake jumps out of the fire And it's cryin' [goin'] for baby-do The moon is a drop in a black hole The sun was a hell of a light Oh man I'm gonna have my ice cold Baby-do is out of sight I'm in danger In your jungle I'm a stranger Land of Mambo 'Cause what you do Must be voodoo I'm in danger Oh baby-do [repeat all and chorus]
