[Intro]
Am Am Dm G
AmMama was queen of the mambo
AmPapa was king of the Congo
DmDeep down in the jungle
GI start bangin' my first bongo
AmEvery monkey'd like to be
AmIn my place instead of me
DmCause I'm the king of bongo baby
GI'm the king of bongo bong
AmI went to the big town
AmWhere there is a lot of sound
From tDmhe jungle to the city
Looking Gfor a bigger crown
AmSo I play my boogie
AmFor the people of big city
DmBut they don't go crazy
GWhen I'm bangin' in my boogie
[Chorus]
AmI'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
DmHear meG when I come baby
AKing of the bongo king of the bongo bong
DmHear meG when I come baby
AmNobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
AmCause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie
DmI'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
GBut I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong
[Chorus]
AmI'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
DmHear meG when I come baby
AKing of the bongo king of the bongo bong
DmHear meG when I come baby
AmThey say that I'm a clown
AmMaking too much dirty sound
DmThey say there is no place
for Glittle monkey in this town
AmNobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
DmCause nobody go crazy
when I'mG bangin' on my boogie
[Chorus]
AmI'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
DmHear meG when I come baby
AKing of the bongo king of the bongo bong
DmHear meG when I come baby
AmBangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
DmI'm so happy there's nobody in Gmy place instead of me
AmI'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town
DmI'm the king of bongo baby
GI'm the king of bongo bong
[Chorus]
AmI'm the (king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong)
DmHear meG when I come baby
AKing of the bongo king of the bongo bong
DmHear meG when I come baby
