[B] [Em]
[G] Bungle, bungle, bungle, I don't [G] wanna leave the Congo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Bingle, bangle, bungle, I'm so [E] happy in the [A] jungle and [E] I'll tell you so [D] you will know.
[G]
Each morning a missionary advertised with neon [Gm] signs.
[Bm] [G] He'd tell the native [Em] population that [Fm] civilization is [D] fine.
