Lyrics

It was far across the sea

When the devil got a hold of me

He wouldn't set me free

So, he kept me soul for ransom

I'm a sailor man from Glasgow town

I've roamed this world around and 'round

He's the meanest thing that I have found

In all me days of wandering

And I could see his evil eyes

'Twas then he took me by surprise

Take me to your paradise

I want to see the jungle

Here we go again

We're on the road again

We're on the road again

We're on our way to paradise

We love the jungle deep

That's where the Lion sleeps

For them those evil eyes

They have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the wall

Just as the sun was going down

I see graffiti on the wall

Of the Celts, of the Celts

Graffiti on the wall

That says, "We're magic, we're magic"

Graffiti on the wall

Graffiti on the wall

And it says, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Ooh, ah, up the ra

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Ooh, ah, up the ra

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Ooh, ah, up the ra

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Ooh, ah, up the ra

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Ooh, ah, up the ra

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

We went through each jungle deep

For the paradise that we did seek

Was no trip for the weak

They're waltzing with the natives

From the Amazon to Borneo

From Africa to Tokyo

To the darkest jungles of the world

But nowhere could I lose him

Around in circles every way

He turned to me and he did say

"I think you're leading me astray

I want your soul, me boyo"

Here we go again

We're on the road again

We're on the road again

We're on our way to paradise

We love the jungle deep

That's where the lion sleep

For them those evil eyes

They have no place in paradise

Graffiti on the wall

Just as the sun was going down

I see graffiti on the wall

Of the Celts, of the Celts

Graffiti on the wall

That says, "We're magic, we're magic"

Graffiti on the wall

Graffiti on the wall

It says, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

"Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

"Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

"Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

"Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"

"Ooh, ah, up the ra"

Say, "Ooh, ah, up the ra"
