mama was queen of the mambo   papa was quuen of the congo   deep down in a djungle   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 djungle 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' 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      they said 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 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      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 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...
