Mama was queen of the mambo
papa was king of the Congo
deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo

Every monkey 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 crowd

So I play my Bongo
for the people of this city
but they don´t go crazy
when I´m banging all 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

Nobody likes to be
in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy
when I´m banging 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

They said that I´m a clown
making too much dirty sound
they said there is no place
for little monkey in this town

Nobody liked to be
in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy
when I´m banging all 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

Banging 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

Mama was queen of the mambo
papa was king of the Congo
deep down in a jungle
I started banging my first bongo

Every monkey 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...
