When mornin' rolls around I catch a bus downtown To that same old job It's a jungle out there And nobody seems to care In the rat race mob But when things start buggin' me I just stop and think of you, then suddenly The concrete jungle become paradise I punch my little card And I work so very hard For such a little pay And from nine o'clock 'til five Nobody cares if I'm alive But now that's okay 'Cause when the sun goes down in the west And I run to meet the one that I love the best The concrete jungle become paradise But any place is Heaven Just as long as you are by my side No matter what the future holds I'll always be satisfied So let 'em push me around And try to put me down Until five o'clock Mm-mm, I can grin and bear 'Cause I know you're waitin' there Just down the block And baby, baby When I feel your warm embrace You just make this world one wonderful place And the concrete jungle become paradise Oh, yeah So when I feel your warm embrace You just make this world one big, wonderful place And the concrete jungle become paradise Yeah, and the concrete jungle become paradise Bringin' hope to this place And the concrete jungle become paradise
