I Could Be Anything |
| Oh, I could be this or I could be that |
| I could pull an elephant out of a hat |
| I could slay a dragon or I could be a king |
| I could be anything |
| I am at occidental in the land of dragon’s breath |
| Where they are not ornamental but are real as life or death |
| Where they terrorize the populists, the people point with fear |
| For dragons have no thoughtfulness, their egos are severe |
| My name is Bongo and I may be small |
| I am the bravest man of them all |
| I’ll fight the fearful dragon, I’ll kill him with my sword |
| I always fight big dragons, especially when I’m bored |
| I met him in the open to fight him fair and square |
| His mouth he held wide open, putrefying the air |
| He blazed such fearful fires, people thought I was dead |
| But my courage engine fires and I chopped off his head |
| Oh, I could do this or I could do that |
| I could pull an elephant out of a hat |
| I could slay a dragon or I could be a king |
| I could do anything |
| The people they all cheered and they gave out quite a whoop |
| For the dragon they had feared had been turned to dragon soup |
| We partied all day and we partied all night |
| They held a royal festival where the king made me a knight |
| Thy name was Bongo but that no more shall stay |
| You once were simply Bongo but now my Knight today |
| Sir Bongo, I now dub thee |
| Sir Bongo for all eternity |
| Thy name shall be Sir Bongo |
| The following peace and devotional was solemn and sublime |
| The king got all emotional and he said «All I have is Thine |
| Take my only daughter, the princess fair |
| And with all my treasure you’ll make a royal pair |
| She’s so beautiful and so true, she will be your bride |
| To have a son-in-law like you would give me great pride |
| And now I can begin with my retirement plan |
| Now I know the kingdom rests in your sure hands» |
| Now from the mountains to the plains, the Mississippi to the Congo |
| The whole world knows the name of the of the g-g-g-good King Bongo |
| Now from the mountains to the plains, Mississippi to the Congo |
| The whole world knows the name of the of the great Sir King Bongo |
| The great King Bongo |
| I could do this or I could be that |
| I could pull an elephant out of a hat |
| I could slay a dragon or I could be a king |
| I could do anything |
| Oh, I could do this or I could do that |
| I could put that elephant right back in his hat |
| I could slay a dragon or I could be a king |
| I could be anything |
| I could be anything |
| I could be anything |
| Bongo |
