Mama was queen of the mambo
G#m
Papa was king of the Congo
C#m
Deep down in the jungle
F#
I started bangin’ my first bongo
G#m
Every monkey ‘d like to be
G#m
In my place instead of me
C#m
Cause I’m the king of bongo, baby
F#
I’m the king of bongo bong
G#m
I went to the big town
G#m
Where there is a lot of sound
C#m
From the jungle to the city
F#
Looking for a bigger crown
G#m
So I play my boogie
G#m
For the people of big city
C#m
But they don’t go crazy
F#
When I bangin’on my boogie I’m the
G#m
King of the bongo,
G#m
king of the bongo bong
F#
Hear me when I come baby
G#m
King of the bongo,
G#m
king of the bongo bong
G#m
Nobody’d like to be
G#m
in my place instead of me
C#m
Cause nobody go crazy
F#
when I bangin’on my boogie
G#m
I’m a king without a crown
G#m
Hanging loose in a big town
C#m
But I’m the king of bongo
F#

Making too much dirty sound

They say there is no place
F#

G#m
in my place instead of me
C#m
Cause nobody go crazy
