Lyrics[]

Verse 1[]

Welcome to the jungle we got fun and games

We got everything you want honey, we know the names

We are the people that can find whatever you may need

If you got the money honey we got your disease

Chorus 1[]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees

I wanna watch you bleed

Verse 2[]

Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day

If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price you pay

And you're a very sexy girl very hard to please

You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free

Chorus 2[]

In the jungle welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my, my serpentine

I,I wanna hear you scream

Verse 3[]

Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here everyday

You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play

If you got a hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually

You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me

Chorus 3[]

In the jungle, welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees

I'm gonna watch you plead

Bridge[]

And when you're high you never ever want to come down

So down, so down, so down, yeah

You know where you are?

You're in the jungle baby, you gonna dieee

Chorus 4[]

In the jungle welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees

In the jungle welcome to the jungle

Feel my, my, my my serpentine

Chorus 5[]

Jungle welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to your sha na na na na knees knees

Down in the jungle welcome to the jungle

Watch it bring you to you

It's gonna bring you down, ha!!

Music Video[]

"Welcome to the Jungle" was the first music video by Guns N' Roses. The music video was directed by Nigel Dick and was filmed August 1-2, 1987 at the Park Plaza Hotel and 450 S. La Brea Avenue in Hollywood. The music video opens with a shot of Axl Rose, stylized as a country peasant, getting off a bus in Los Angeles and walking past drug dealers and prostitutes in disbelief of what he sees. Then the hero stops in front of a TV shop window, where Slash is shown drinking Jack Daniel's straight from the bottle. The clip also featured shots of musicians performing in a club and Rose partying. The image also included a scene where Rose is sitting in a safety vest in an electric chair in front of a row of televisions that broadcast war and violence footage, which made MTV fearful of airing the clip.
