George, George
George of the Jungle,
Strong as he can be.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that tree!
George, George,
George of the Jungle,
Lives a life that's free.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that tree!
When he gets in a scrape,
he makes his escape
with the help of his friend,
an ape named Ape.
Then away he'll schlep
on his elephant Shep
While Fella and Ursula*
Stay in step...with
George, George
George of the Jungle,
Friend to you and me.
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Watch out for that tree!
Watch out for that--
(Ahhhhhhhh)
Treeeee....
George, George
George of the Jungle
Friend to you and me!
[*In the opening of the song, it indeed says "Fella"
(its sometimes erroneously credited as "Velma" or "Thelma")
June Foray, the voice of Ursula, explained:
"It was a joke. The song said Fella and Ursula because
George would sometimes call Ursula 'Fella'"
-As answered in "The Magic Behind the Voices: A Who's Who of Cartoon Voice Actors"]
