| Mama was queen of the mambo*
|
| Papa was king of the Congo
|
| Deep down in the jungle
|
| I started bangin' my first bongo
|
| Every monkey’d like to be
|
| In my place instead of me
|
| Cause I’m the king of bongo, baby
|
| I’m the king of bongo bong
|
| I went to the big town
|
| Where there is a lot of sound
|
| From the jungle to the city
|
| Looking for a bigger crown
|
| So I play my boogie
|
| For the people of big city
|
| But they don’t go crazy
|
| When I’m bangin' on my boogie
|
| I’m the «king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong»
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
|
| Nobody’d like to be in my place instead of me
|
| Cause nobody go crazy when I’m bangin' on my boogie
|
| I’m a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
|
| But I’m the king of bongo baby I’m the king of bongo bong
|
| «king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong»
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
|
| They say that I’m a clown
|
| Making too much dirty sound
|
| They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
|
| Nobody’d like to be in my place instead of me
|
| Cause nobody go crazy when I’m bangin' on my boogie
|
| I’m the «king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong»
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
|
| Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
|
| I’m so happy there’s nobody in my place instead of me
|
| I’m a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
|
| But I’m the king of bongo baby I’m the king of bongo bong
