MAMA WAS QUEEN OF THE MAMBO
PAPA WAS KING OF THE CONGO
DEEP DOWN IN THE JUNGLE
I STARTED BANGIN MY FIRST BONGO
EVERY MONKEYD LIKE TO BE
IN MY PLACE INSTEAD OF ME
CAUSE IM THE KING OF BONGO, BABY
IM 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 DONT GO CRAZY
WHEN IM BANGIN IN MY BOOGIE

IM THE "KING OF THE BONGO, KING OF THE BONGO BONG"
HEAR ME WHEN I COME
KING OF THE BONGO, KING OF THE BONGO BONG
THEY SAY THAT IM A CLOWN
MAKING TOO MUCH DIRTY SOUND
THEY SAY THERE IS NO PLACE FOR LITTLE MONKEY IN THIS TOWN
NOBODYD LIKE TO BE IN MY PLACE INSTEAD OF ME
CAUSE NOBODY GO CRAZY WHEN IM BANGIN ON MY BOOGIE

IM THE KING OF THE BONGO, KING OF THE BONGO BONG
HEAR ME WHEN I COME
"KING OF THE BONGO, KING OF THE BONGO BONG"
BANGIN ON MY BONGO ALL THAT SWING BELONGS TO ME
IM SO HAPPY THERES NOBODY IN MY PLACE INSTEAD OF ME
IM A KING WITHOUT A CROWN HANGING LOOSE IN A BIG TOWN
BUT IM THE KING OF BONGO BABY IM 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...
