I found a book buried in the leaves Not long after you fell asleep, That told the tale of the Ruby Fruit Jungle And how everybody’s one and the same, We are trees growing wild in a forest of fantasy.
Wrapped around your Saturn finger Is a liquid silver moat, Pointing in time to the kingdom of the rhyme Where you hold the key to every note, We are songs being sung on the tongue of a serpent.
And in the firelight I read words That I wish you could have seen But now they’re disappearing Should I read to you before you dream? But I can’t bring myself to wake you No, I can’t bring myself to do that at all.
I’m not going to wake you And steal off your healing touch I’ve always got the birds and dawn and the morning to myself I’ve always got the birds and dawn and the morning to myself
Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, just hold on Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I keep you ‘til this time be gone And we can live as the king and the queen of the night until we tumble Rolling and scraping through bliss, we are waking the wrath of the Ruby Fruit Jungle
I fell asleep to the sound of the rustle And the muscle and the hustle of bats Telling tales of the Scooby shoop fungle And how everybody likes to relax I am high, riding on the noise of their sweet talking
Growing warmer in your satin corner Rowing on a silvery boat
Heading west to the kingdom of the rhyme Where I hold the hearts of all of the folk I am lines written out of mispelt verses
Flying high with a thousand birds Is where I wish that you could have been Now they’re disappearing Can you wake me before I scream I am Queen of dreams but I want you stop them I am Queen of dreams, why don’t you stop them?
But he’s not going to wake me And burn out my sleepy blush I’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to myself I’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to myself
Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, just hold on Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I keep you ‘til this time be gone And we can live as the king and the queen of the night until we tumble Rolling and scraping through bliss, we are waking the wrath of the Ruby Fruit Jungle ~ O mani, bensa gura hu... ~ We’re not going to wake you And steal all the fruit for ourselves You’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to yourself You’ve always got the birds and the dawn and the morning to yourself Oh my Ruby Fruit Sweetheart Hold on, Just hold on! Tonight you sleep ‘tho tomorrow I’ll keep you ‘til this time be gone
Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face We made it to the top everything stops, In a place where we don’t care. Firelight showed sweat, aglitter on your face
