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, 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
A 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＂
Hear me when I come baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
Nobody`d like to be in my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy
when I`m bangin` 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 say that I`m a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little
A 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
Hear me when I come
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 bong...
Hear me when I come
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, 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
