Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
I start 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
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
Nobody 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 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
hangin' 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 start 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
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
