Intro:

     (x2)

Verse 1:

                
 I'm going out to-night,
                          
 I don't know if I'll be al-right.
                       
 Everyone, wants to hurt me,
                                 
 There's too much danger in the ci-ty.

                 
 I have to carry a knife,
                                  
 Because people keep threatening my life.
                            
 I can't dress just the way I want,
                                
 I'm being chased by The National Front.

Chorus 1:

                                    
 Concrete jungle; the animals are after me.
                                   
 Concrete jungle; it ain't safe on the streets.
                                       
 Concrete jungle; glad I got my mates with me.

Verse 2:

                   
 I won't fight for a cause,
                        
 Don't want to change the law.
                               
 Leave me alone, just leave me a-lone,
                       
 I want to get out on my own.

                   
 I'm walking home to-night,
                                 
 I only walk where there's lots of lights.
                          
 In the alleys and the door-ways,
                                    
 Some throw a bottle straight at your face.

Chorus 2:

                                    
 Concrete jungle; the animals are after me.
                                   
 Concrete jungle; it ain't safe on the streets.
                                       
 Concrete jungle; glad I got my mates with me.

Verse 3:

                
 I'm going out to-night,
                          
 I don't know if I'll be al-right.
                       
 Everyone, wants to hurt me,
                                 
 There's too much danger in the ci-ty.

                 
 I have to carry a knife,
                                  
 Because people keep threatening my life.
                            
 I can't dress just the way I want,
