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,
I'm the King of bongo bong.

King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
I'm the.. King of the bongo, King of the 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 bongo
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' in my boogie

I'm King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
I'm the.. King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong

Cause people like disco
And people like house
That's why they don't applause
When I'm bangin' on my bongo
They say what I'm a clown
Makin' too much dirty sound
They say there is no crown
For little monkey in this town

King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
I'm the King of the bongo, King of the bongo bongo

Nobody liked to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my bongo
But I don't like no disco
And I don't like the house
'Cause i'm born to rock
I'm born to pogo

King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
I'm the King of the bongo, King of the bongo bongo

When I'm bangin' on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a King whithout a crown
Hangin' loose in the big town
'Cause I'm born to rock
I'm born to pogo

King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
King of the bongo, King of the bongo bong
I'm the King of the bongo, King of the bongo bongo
