Rocking in the Congo
Rocking in the Congo
Listen to the lingo
Better start to swing so
Rocking in the Congo
In the African jungle a-way down deep
All of the animals fast asleep
A native boy who was hip to the jive
Said I'm gonna make the jungle come alive
A-beatin' on the drum in his native style
You could hear his rhythm up and down the Nile
A lion woke up and he let out a roar
Said I think I've heard that beat before
A monkey swung down from a high old limb
Said I feel that rhythm deep within
An antelope jumped from behind a tree
Said it sure sounds mighty fine to me
An elephant shook his mighty snout
Said what's this racket all about
A hyena laughed said nothing's wrong
We're gonna rock the Congo all night long
Rocking in the Congo
Rocking in the Congo
Listen to the lingo
Better start to swing so
Rocking in the Congo
Well an alligator crawled from his watery bed
Turned to the hippo and here's what he said
Said jump back boy it's time to swing
Can't you hear that rhythm ring
An ostrich had his head in the ground
Until he heard that rocking sound
He started to sing with a go man go
Then he woke up the buffalo
A zebra called to a slick kudu
Said this is the beat for me and you
None of the animals had a clock
But everybody knew it was time to rock
Across the plains and high on a hill
Nothing in the jungle could keep still
The native boy was going strong
And they rocked the Congo all night long
Rocking in the Congo
Rocking in the Congo
Listen to the lingo
Better start to swing so
Rocking in the Congo
Rocking in the Congo
Baby all night long
