Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Kongo
Deep down in the jungle I start banging my first bongo
[Verse 2]
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-O
[Verse 3]
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crowd
[Verse 4]
So I played my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie, I'm the
[Verse 5]
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come
[Verse 6]
I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo-O
[Verse 7]
Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Kongo
Deep down in the jungle I start banging my first bongo
[Verse 8]
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-bon
[Verse 9]
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crowd
[Verse 10]
So I played my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie, I'm the
[Verse 11]
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come
[Verse 12]
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
[Verse 13]
I'm the king without a crown
And be  loosing a big town
But I'm a king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo-O
[Verse 14]
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come
[Verse 15]
They said that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place
For little monkey in this town
[Verse 16]
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie, I'm the
[Verse 17]
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
(King of the Bongo, king of the Bongo)
Hear me when I come
[Verse 18]
I'm the king of Bongo, baby
I'm the king of Bongo-O
