The Next Best Thing movie - Bongo Bong lyrics

rate me

Song by Manu Chao<br /><br>

Mama was queen of the mambo<br>

Papa was king of the Congo<br>

Deep down in the jungle<br>

I started bangin' my first bongo<br>

Every monkey'd like to be<br>

In my place instead of me<br>

Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby<br>

I'm the king of bongo bong<br>

I went to the big town<br>

Where there is a lot of sound<br>

From the jungle to the city<br>

Looking for a bigger crown<br>

So I play my boogie<br>

For the people of big city<br>

But they don't go crazy<br>

When I'm bangin' in my boogie<br>

I'm the "king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"<br>

Hear me when I come<br>

King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong<br>

They say that I'm a clown<br>

Making too much dirty sound<br>

They say there is no place for little monkey in this town<br>

Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me<br>

Cause nobody go crazy when I'm bangin' on my boogie<br>

I'm the king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong<br>

Hear me when I come<br>

"King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong"<br>

Bangin' on my bongo all that swing belongs to me<br>

I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me<br>

I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a big town<br>

But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo bong<br>

King of the bongo, king of the bongo bong<br>

Hear me when I come, baby, king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong...<br>
