Bongo Bong

Mama was the king of the Mambo
Papa was the king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I startes 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 thereis a lot of sond
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"
Hear me when I come
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"
They say I'm a clow
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is not for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazywhen i'm bangin on my boogie
I'm the "king of the bongo",king of the bongo
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 king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo bong
"King of the bongo, king of teh bongo"
Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bang...
