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
