Mama was queen of the
mambo, Papa was king of
the Congo
Deep down in the 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 the 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
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
