Mama was queen of the mambo
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
Deep down in the jungle
I start bangin' my first bongo
I start bangin' my first bong
Every monkey'd like to be
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I'm the king of bongo bong
I went to the big town
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
Looking for a bigger crown
So I play my boogie
So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
Hear me when I eat baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the king of bongo, baby
But I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
Hear me when I eat baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I eat
They say that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
They say that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
Hear me when I eat baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I eat
Bangin' on my bongo, all that swing belongs to me
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 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 a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
Hear me when I eat baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I eat
Mama was queen of the mambo
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle
Deep down in a jungle
I start bangin' my first bongo
I start bangin' my first bong
Every monkey'd like to be
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
I'm the king of bongo bong
Hear me when I come
Hear me when I eat
