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 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   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   King of the Bongo   King of the Bongo Bong      King of the Bongo   King of the Bongo Bong   I'm the king of the Bongo   King of the Bongo Bong      I'm the king of the Bongo   King of the Bongo Bong   I'm the king of the Bongo   King of the Bongo Bong
