[Intro 1]
[A][Bm][A][Bm]
[A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
You wanna [Bm]beat it,
but you're never gonna leave [Em]this [G]town[A][Bm]
In the jungle with a fever comes
immedi[Em]ate [G]crown[A][Bm]
I'm alone with all my friends,
fireworks in a [D]pussy [Em]den
Shakin' up that new West End,
don't [G]get too [Bm]close, my [A]style [Bm]bends
I'ma do my thing this time,
Hudson River serpent[Em]ine
Everything we overheard, [G]pizza's free on [A]thirty-third an[Bm]d and third,
third, [C]third

[Verse 2]
(Don't you [D]love [Em]me,
[A]baby?) The shape I'm takin'
[C]At the Latin quarter, tro[D]uble funk is on the[Bm] floor,
[C]oh, my children
(Don't you [D]love me,
[Em]baby[A]?) The shape I'm takin'
[C]Jungle at the disco,
[D]jungle's what they came [Em]here for
[A][Bm]

[Verse 3]
The beat is tricky,
but you're never gonna [D]move it [Em]around[G][A][Bm]
You're dressin' up when you really should
be [D]dress[Em]in' [G]down[A][Bm]
Gettin' on my one last nerve,
ring my bell on Dead Man's [Em]Curve
Pick it up, Jamaica, Queens,
that super [Bm]walk is so obscene
Gonna do your thing this time,
East Side River, [D]box of [Em]wine
Throw it up, it's time to serve,
[G]pizza's free on [A]thirty-third [Bm]and and third, third, t[C]hird

[Verse 4]
(Don't you [D]love [Em]me,
