Darlin' Darlinka

(album: Highwayman - 1979)

Look at that multi-colored jungle bird
Saying the smoothest of words he ever heard
He don't realize he looks so absurd
In his lying
Well... we've heard about it, see us laughing
We knew it all along

Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
'Cause it sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka your heart is your own
It sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
Hang onto your hope

Look at that greedy ole crocodile
Speaking backwards staying awhile
Trying to fool everyone with a smile
See him smiling
Well he made a purse from his mother's alligator
Neath the boat see you later

Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
'Cause it sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka your heart is your own
Sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
Hang onto your hope

Here comes that jiber-jabber' jiving monkey
Thinks he's funny, thinks he's funky
He talks of cities silly in the heart of his country
Well we ain't crying about it, see us laughing
We knew it all along

Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
'Cause it sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka your heart is your own
It sure is a jungle
Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope, hang onto your hope
Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope, hang onto your hope
Hang onto your hope

Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
Hang onto your hope, to your hope
Darling Darlinka hang onto your hope
Hang onto your hope, to your hope
'Cause it sure is a jungle
