Lyrics

Mama had a epidural 
Hoping I would be a girl
The night was black, the sky was booming 
Darker clouds were surely looming
I heard screaming, doctor shouts
And baby then I came out
And here I am

Found my way down the street
Chicken hawks filled with meat
The man was big, the gun was loaded 
He had cash, but never showed it
I heard screamin', bleeding throat 
And baby I got on that boat
And here I am

Now I'm up here in the trees 
Shaking off the bugs and fleas 
The days are long, the sun is beatin' 
Each day i don't die is cheating

Send me some lovin' 
Send me some lovin' 
Send it now 

Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph 
Send it by giraffe, or jungle telegraph 
Or jungle telegraph
Jungle telegraph...

Song Meanings

The song describes the story of a man who sells his body on the street, is involved in a murder and then flees to the jungle where he lives in the trees.

Favourite parts

The music on this song is just amazing. It's so different. I love the percussion on the song. Only eels could have made this song.

I really like the whole story of this song too. It's a funny little tale.
