[Am] [Dm] [G] [Am]
[Dm] [G] [Am] Mama was queen of the Mambo, Papa was [Dm] king of the Congo
Deep down in [G] the jungle I start banging my [Am] first bongo
Every monkey like to be in my place [Dm] instead of me
Cause I'm the king [G] of bongo baby, I'm the king [Am] of bongo bong
I went to the big town where there is a lot [Dm] of sound
From the jungle to [G] the city looking for a bigger [Am] crown
So I play my boogie for the people of big city
But [Dm] they don't go [G] crazy when I'm banging on [Am] my boogie
I'm the king of the bongo, king of [Dm] the bongo
[G] Hear me when [Am] I come baby
King of the bongo, king of [Dm] the bongo
[G] Nobody [Am] like to be in my place instead [Dm] of me
Cause nobody go [G] crazy when I'm banging on [Am] my boogie
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a [Dm] big town
But I'm the king [G] of bongo baby, I'm the king [Am] of bongo bong
Hear me [Dm] [G] when [Am] I come baby
King of the bongo, king of [Dm] the bongo
[G] Hear me when [Am] I come
They say that I'm a clown making too much dirty [Dm] sound
They say there is [G] no place for little monkey in [Am] this town
Nobody like to be in my place instead [Dm] of me
Cause nobody go [G] crazy when I'm banging on [Am] my boogie
I'm the king
[Dm] [G] of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when [Am] I come baby
King of the bongo, king of [Dm] the bongo
[G] Hear me when [Am] I come
Banging on my bongo all that swing belongs [Dm] to me
I'm so happy there's [G] nobody in my place instead [Am] of me
I'm a king without a crown hanging loose in a [Dm] big town
I'm the king [G] of bongo baby, I'm the king [Am] of bongo bong
King of the bongo, king of [Dm] the bongo
[G] Hear me when [Am] I come baby
King of the bongo, [Dm] [G] king of the bongo
Hear me when [Am] I come
Mama was queen of the mambo, papa was [Dm] king of the Congo
Deep down in [G] the jungle I start banging my [Am] first bongo
Every monkey like to be in my place [Dm] instead of me
Cause I'm the king [G] of bongo baby, I'm the king [Am] of bongo bong
[Dm] [G] Hear me when [Am] I come
[Dm] [G] Hear me when [Am] I come baby
