	Lyrics Muriel & Terry took a trip to the jungle Settled into their Latin American bungalow They didn't speak the language but they were not concerned Whatever they would need to know they'd surely learn Adventure called their name from the page of a brochure Come see the animales on a Canopy tour They had to sign a waiver - yes, they should have known But they were harnessed in and soon they were airborne Muriel & Terry were like Tarzan & Jane Swinging from the wires - were they brave or insane? High up in the air they could see it all Little did they know how easy it was to fall Terry lost his grip and he flipped upside down And before he knew it he was reacquainted with the ground Cesar Gomez saw that this was quite a bungle They would have to help our hero out of the jungle With the strength of 3 men plus Marco, Olman and Jorge Terry was half-conscious and all he could say was... Donde esta my sneakers? I think I just saw a cheetah! Donde esta my sneakers? Are we still in Costa Rica? Muriel & Terry were like Tarzan & Jane Swinging from the wires - were they brave or insane? Now Costa Rican health care is a funny thing Muriel assisted as they took Terry's X-ray Only 5 stitches - that was all But he had the only bathroom in the hospital Yes, Terry's room was quite a popular spot So, Muriel insisted on a tetnus shot Then she left him there to go back to El Hotel Rancho She was still in shock and all she wanted to know was... Donde esta el sneakers? Is this what they mean by "la pura vida"? Donde esta el sneakers? Should we still retire to Costa Rica? Muriel & Terry were like Tarzan & Jane Swinging from the wires - were they brave or insane? Now in the town of Quepos along the coast This is the story they remember the most El grande americano and his bride He lost his sneakers but he kept his life Muriel & Terry were like Tarzan & Jane Swinging from the wires - were they brave or insane? ©2001 Marianne Pillsbury/Rent-A-Songwriter (TM)
