.
Mama was queen of the mambo .
Papa was king of the Congo .
Deep down in the jungle .
I started bangin' my first bongo .
Every monkeyed 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' in my boogie .
I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong" .
Hear me when I come .
King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong .
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 .
"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong" .
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 .
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
