Bongo Bong lyrics

Mama was queen of the mambo

Papa was king of the Congo

Deep down in a jungle

I started banging my first bongo

Every monkey 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 banging all 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 likes to be

In my place instead of me

'Cause nobody go crazy

When I'm banging 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 said that I'm a clown

Making too much dirty sound

They said there is no place

For little monkey in this town

Nobody liked to be

In my place instead of me

'Cause nobody go crazy

When I'm banging 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)

Hear me when I come

Banging 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 a jungle

I started banging my first bongo

Every monkey 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
