AmMama was queen of the mambo, AmPapa was king of the Congo
DmDeep down in the jungle I started Gbangin’ my first bongo
AmEvery monkey’d like to beAm in my place instead of me
‘Cause DmI’m the king of bongo, baby GI’m the king of bongo bong

I Amwent to the big town where there is a lot of sound
From the Dmjungle to the city looking Gfor a bigger crown
So I Amplay my boogie for the people of big city
But they Dmdon’t go crazy when I’m Gbangin’ on my boogie

I’m the “Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby
“AmKing of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong” G

NoAmbody’d like to be in my place instead of me
‘Cause noDmbody go crazy when I’m Gbangin’ on my boogie
I’m a Amking without a crown hanging loose in a big town
But DmI’m the king of bongo, baby GI’m the king of bongo bong

“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby
“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby

AmThey say that I’m a clown, making too much dirty sound
They Dmsay there is no place for little mGonkey in this town
NoAmbody’d like to be in my place instead of me
‘Cause Dmnobody go crazy when I’m Gbangin’ on my boogie

“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby
“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby

AmBangin’ on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I’m Dmso happy there’s nobody in my pGlace instead of me
I’m a Amking without a crown hanging loose in a big town
DmI’m the king of bongo, baby GI’m the king of bongo bong

“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
GHear me when I come, baby
“Amking of the bongo, king of the bongo Dmbong”
