We was jammin’ in the jungle,
When along came Leroy looking for his train.
We was having a groovin’ time,
But Leroy came along and gave us a fright.
I’m sorry about what they did.
I told ya you should have hid!
They locked you up as sure as the chain on your neck.
Leroy! Where did you go? The rest of us will never know…
Bouncin’ off walls you said, “Hey! Look at me!”
Leroy’ll have your fun, but you won’t stay free.
You tried to play, but they took you away.
You tried to stay, but they took you away.
Where did you go? We never will know, but your legacy will live on.
You’ll stay alive in our hearts in minds, even though you’re a long way gone.
Leroy! Where did you go? The rest of us will never know…
Come back Leroy!
Leroy! Where did you go? The rest of us will never know…
