Jungle Bells

Dave Faulkner

Hear the jungle bells calling all the pilgrims. 
Hear the jungle bells scaring all the children. 
It ain't the Voice of God, now darling, 
Or the work of human hand 
But they're reaching out to you 
From the hinterland. 

Hear the jungle bells warning all the strangers. 
Hear the jungle bells ringing in the changes. 
Once a mission stood there, darling, 
Choked to death in tangled vines 
But when the night is still 
You can hear their chimes. (Hear ghostly chimes.) 

Hear the jungle bells, they start the dogs to howling. 
Hear the jungle bells, as if the night was growling - 
"We don't care who you are, now darling, 
But you won't find your welcome here, 
And when we call your name 
You better disappear".
