Every monkey'd like to be 00:38
In my place instead of me 00:40
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby 00:41
I'm the king of bongo bong 00:43
I went to the big town where there is a lot of sound 00:45
From the jungle to the city looking for a bigger crown 00:48
So I play my boogie for the people of the city 00:50

[English]
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King-kiding-ki, king of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King-kiding-ki, king of the Bongo
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start banging 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 the city
But they don't go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
I'm the...
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King-kiding-ki, king of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
King-kiding-ki, king of the Bongo
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody'd go crazy when I'm banging 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
They say that I'm a clown, making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for a little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody'd go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
I'm the...
Banging 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
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the congo
Deep down in the jungle, I start banging 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
