Po-pa was king of the Con-go deep down in the jun-gle I started han-ging my first bon-go
Refrain
King of the Bon-go King of the Bon-go bong
2. E-very mon-key ´d like to be In my place in-stead of me cause I´m the king of the bon-go The king of Bon-go bong
2. I want to the big town Where ther´s a lot of sound From the jungle to the city Lookin´ for a bigger crown
So I played my Bongo For the people of the big city But they don´t crazy When I´m bangin´ my boogie
3. Cause people like disco And people like house That´s why they don´t applause When I´m bangin´ on my bongo they say that I´m a clown Makin´ too much dirty sound They say there is no crown For little monkey in this town
4. Nobody like to be In my place instead of me Cause nobody go crazy When I´m bangin´ on my boogie
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
5. 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 without a crown Hangin´ loose in the big town And I´m born to rock I´m born to pogo
