Mama was queen of the mambo

papa was king of the Congo

deep down in a jungle

I started 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 crowd

So I play my Bongo

for the people of this city

but they don´t go crazy

when I´m banging all my boogie

I´m the

Chorus:

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo bong

Hear me when I come, baby

King of the Bongo

King of the Bongo

Nobody likes 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

Refrain

They said that I´m a clown

making too much dirty sound

they said 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 all my boogie

I´m the

Refrain

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

Chorus

Mama was queen of the mambo

papa was king of the Congo

deep down in a jungle

I started 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

Je ne t'aime plus

Mon amour

Je ne t'aime plus

Tous les jours

Parfois j'aimerais mourir

Tellement j'ai voulu croire

Parfois j'aimerais mourir

Pour ne plus rien avoir

Parfois j'aimerais mourir

Pour plus jamais te voir

Je ne j'aime plus

Mon amour

Je ne t'aime plus

Tous les jours

Parfois j'aimerais mourir

Tellement Y'a plus d'espoir

Parfois j'aimerais mourir

Pour plus jamais te revoir

Parfois j'aimeris mourir

Pour ne plus rien savoir

Je ne t'aime plus

Mon amour

Je ne t'aime plus

Tous les jours...
