(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Saw him goin' to the jungle,
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Fish hangin' over his shoulder.
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Said he'd be back when I'm older,
Now I'd like to know
Where did he go
With a fish hangin' over his shoulder?
(With a fish hangin' over his shoulder)

Saw him late one stormy night,
Standin' there he was a sight!
Where he came from I don't know,
This is where I saw him go!

(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Saw him goin' to the jungle,
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Fish hangin' over his shoulder.
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
Said he'd be back when I'm older,
Now I'd like to know
Where did he go
With a fish hangin' over his shoulder?
(With a fish hangin' over his shoulder)

With his dark and flashing eyes,
Took me quite by surprise!
I asked him if he couldn't say,
He said, "No no, not today!"

(Pa pa pa pa-pa,
Pa pa pa pa-pa),

Today he said, "Come xxx? me,
To the jungle, you will see!
I'm the only one who knows
Where he comes from, where he goes!

(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
I saw him goin' to the jungle,
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
With a fish hangin' over his shoulder.
(Pa pa pa pa-pa),
He said he'd come back when I'm older,
Now I'd like to know
Where did he go
With a fish, (with a fish)
With a fish, (with a fish)
With a fish hangin' over his shoulder?
