(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle, I start banging my first bongo
Every monkey 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 bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
(King of the bongo, bing of the bongo bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
Nobody like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody 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
(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 liked to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
I'm the
I'm the king, king of the bongo
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
I'm the king, king of the bongo
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
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
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
Hear me when I come
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in a jungle, I start banging my first bongo
Every monkey like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby, I'm the king of bongo bong
Hear me when I come
I'm the king, king of the bongo
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
I'm the king, king of the bongo
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo
