Mama was queen of the mambo Papa was the 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’ in 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 I'm the king of the bongo, baby, I’m the king of the 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 I’m a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town I'm the king of the bongo, baby, 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” 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 But I'm the king of the bongo, baby, I’m the king of the 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 the 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 Hear me when I come
