Manu Chao Bongo Bong Am Dm G . 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
