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
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'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 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
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
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I come baby
Hear me when I come
