Civilization |
| I got the song, we got to Philadelphia |
| And they didn’t cut it |
| I sang it eight a week |
| For over a year and a half |
| This is the original choreography |
| Each morning, a missionary advertise with neon sign |
| He tells the native population that civilization is fine |
| And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree |
| That civilization is a thing for me to see |
| Bongo, bongo, bongo |
| I don’t wanna leave the Congo |
| Oh! |
| No, no, no, no, no |
| Bingo, bango, bongo |
| I’m so happy in the jungle |
| I refuse to go |
| Don’t want no bright lights |
| False teeth |
| Doorbells |
| Landlords |
| I make it clear |
| That no matter how they coax him |
| I’ll stay right here |
| They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train |
| And though it’s smokey and it’s crowded |
| They’re too civilized to complain |
| When they’ve got two weeks vacation |
| They hurry to vacation ground |
| They swim and they fish |
| But that’s what I do all year round |
| Bongo, bongo, bongo |
| I don’t wanna leave the Congo |
| Oh! |
| No, no, no, no, no |
| Ba-ba-ba-bingo, bango, bongo |
| I’m so happy in the jungle |
| I refuse to go |
| Don’t want no high heels |
| Butt packs |
| Haircut |
| Nail pick |
| Padded brassiere |
| I got my spears |
| So no matter how they coax him |
| I’m going to stay right here |
| They have something called the nuclear bomb |
| So I think I’ll stay where I am |
| Civilization |
| I’ll stay right here |
| I don’t go there |
| Laugh it’s all |
