King of Bongo

Moma was queen of the mambo

Popa was king of the Congo

& deap down in the jungle

I started bangin'my first bongo

Every monkey'd like to be

in my place instead of me

'cause I'm the king of bongo

The king of bongo bong.

I want to the big town

Where there'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 big city

But they don't go crazy

When I'm bangin' my boogie

Cause people like disco

& people like house

That's why they don't applause

When I'm bangin' on my bongo

They say what I'm a clown

Makin' too much dirty sound

They say there is no crown

For little monkey in this town

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

& I don't like the house

'cause I'm born to rock

I'm born to pogo

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 whithout a crown

Hangin' loose in the big town

& I'm born to rock

I'M BORN TO POGO
