King of Bongo

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

I'm the king of Bongo Bong

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

I'm the king of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

I went to the big town

Where there is a lot of sound

From the jungle to the city

Lookin' for a bigger crown

I play my bongo

For the people of big city

But they don't go crazy

When I'm bangin' my boogie

I'm the king of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

I'm the king of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

'Cause people like disco

And people like the house

That's why they don't applause

When I'm bangin' on my bongo

They say that I'm a clown

Makin' too much dirty sound

They say there is no crown

For little monkey in this town

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

I'm the king of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

Nobody like to be

In my place instead of me

'Cause nobody go crazy

When I'm bangin' on my boogie

But I don't like no disco

And I don't like the house

'Cause I'm born to rock

I'm born to pogo

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong

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 a king without a crown

Hangin' loose in the big town

'Cause I'm born to rock

I'm born to pogo

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo Bong
