We work all day to pay the rent At night we watch T.V. We don't dance, we forgot the rhythm But we aim to please We choose our smiles from large collections They're the ones that don't offend We dress like men, men of true distinction Then we do it again These are the ways of the modern world You're such a modern girl Take me back to the love jungle Where all the flowers are red Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle I can lose my head I can lose my head We go to foreign movies for the very groovy But never look bored We buy books for the way they look Don't read them at all And on the weekends we see our families They think we're very smart We don't talk we forgot the words yeah But we will go far These are the ways of the modern world You're such a modern girl Take me back to the love jungle Where all the flowers are red Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle I can lose my head I can lose my head Shake shake You better shake shake Shake shake You better shake your body down You better shake shake Oh we go to cocktail parties for the very arty The time goes by I'm so polite hmm. you're very pretty Well ain't that nice We keep our dreams in big glass bottles By the bathroom door Just waiting for the day when we can take them And smash them on the floor These are the ways of the modern world You're such a modern girl Take me back to the love jungle Where all the flowers are red Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle I can lose my head I can lose my head Take me back to the love jungle Where all the flowers are red Yeah deep in the heart of love jungle I can lose my head I can lose my head
