Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
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 jungle to the city
Lookin' 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
Cause people like disco
Mama was queen of the mambo Papa was king of the Congo Deep down in the jungle 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 jungle to the city Lookin' 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 Cause people like disco Explain Request ×
