| 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, baby
|
| "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, baby
|
| "King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| 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
|
| "King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
|
| Hear me when I come, baby
|
| "King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| 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
|
| 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, baby
|
| "King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| 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
|
| Hear me when I come
|
| Hear me when I come, baby
|
| "King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
|
| Hear me when I come |
