[Eb]
[Dbm] [Db]
Each morning a [Ab] missionary avatars with me on sign.
He [Eb] tell the native population that civilization is dying.
And three [Abm] educated salvages holler from a bongo [Eb] tree.
That [Ab] civilization is a thing for me [Db] to see.
[Ebm] [Db] So [Ebm] bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't [Db] want to leave the Congo.
No, no, no, no, no.
[Eb] Bingo, bongo, bongo, I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to [Ab] go.
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, or bells.
Landlords, I make [Abm] it clear.
[Eb]
That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay [Dbm] right here.
[Db]
I [Bb] look through a magazine the missionary's wife [Dbm] conceals.
Magazine?
[Eb] What happens?
I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobiles.
You know you can get hurt [Ab] that way, Daniel?
At the movies they have got [Eb] to pay many coconuts [Ab] to see.
What do they see, Donny?
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel [Db] takes of me.
[Eb] [Db] [Ab]
[Ab] So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't want to leave the [Db] Congo.
No, no, no, no, [Bbm] [Db]
no.
[Eb] Bingo, bongo, bongo, he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go.
Don't want no [Ab] penthouse, bathtub, [Abm] streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear.
[Ab] So no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right [E] here.
[Gb]
[Bbm] [Eb]
They hurry like salvages to get aboard an iron train.
The tringalingu hula humbly express.
And though it's smoky and it's crowded, they're too civilized to complain.
Aloka toho, so he might.
When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry [Ab] to vacation ground.
What do they see?
They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all [Db] year round.
[Ebm]
[Ab] So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't want to leave the [Bbm] Congo.
No, no, no, no, no.
[Db] Bingo, bongo, bongo, I'm so happy in the jungle [Eb] I refuse to go.
Don't want no [Ab] jailhouse, shotgun, fish hooks, golf clubs.
I got my [Ab]
spears.
So no matter how they coax him, I'll [Gb] stay right here.
[Eb]
They have [Cm] things like the autumn bomb.
So I think I'll stay where I [F] am.
[C] Civilization, [Eb]
I'll stay right here.
