Bongo Bong (King Of Bongo) lyrics
by Manu Chao
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start 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
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 bangin' on my boogie
I'm the
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo)
Nobody like to bе in my place instead of me
'Causе nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I’m a king without a crown and I’m losing 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)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo)
They said that I'm a clown
Liking too much dirty sound
They said 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 a King of the bongo, king of the bongo)
Hear me when I come, baby
(King of the bongo, king of the bongo)
Bangin' on my boogie
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown
And I'm losng a big town
I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start bangin' my first bongo
Bongo
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Nobody like to be in my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown and I'm losing a big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby, I'm the king of bongo bong
King of the bongo
