Lyrics:

mama was queen of the mambo
papa was quuen of the congo
deep down in a djungle
i started bangin' 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 djungle 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' on my boogie

i'm the king of the bongo
king of the bongo bong
hear me when i come, baby
king of the bongo
king of the bongo bong

they said 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, baby
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...
