Who knows what puts a song in one's head
suddenly, certainly
and most purposely

An Engram
a seed
from our childhood subconscious

sings...

"Now I'm the King of the Swinger's Rule
The Jungle V.I.P.
I've reached the top,
and had to stop

and that's what's bothering me

I wanna be a man, man-cub
and stroll right into town
and be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeying around"

harness the spirit
living a life worth living
making a living
by putting smiles on children's faces"

"and when your lost
in dire need
who's at your side
at lightening speed

with friends of every creature
coming down the pike"

"in fact we never met an animal
we didn't like

did-n't like..."

putting stuffed animals to work
has brought out the best in me

when I learn to concentrate on
"The Bare Necessities"


lyrics from Louis Prima: Jungle Book
