[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][G][Am]
[Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Mama
was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
[Dm]Deep down in the jungle
I start [G]bangin' my first bongo

[Verse 2]
[Am]Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause [Dm]I'm the king of bongo, baby
[G]I'm the king of bongo bong

[Verse 3]
I [Am]went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the [Dm]jungle to the city
Looking [G]for a bigger crown

[Verse 4]
So I [Am]play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they [Dm]don't go crazy
When I'm [G]bangin' on my boogie

[Verse 5]
I'm [Am]the king of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come, baby
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong[G]
[Am]Nobody'd like to be in my
place instead of me
'Cause [Dm]nobody go crazy when
I'm [G]bangin' on my boogie

[Verse 6]
I'm a [Am]king without a crown,
hanging loose in a big town
But [Dm]I'm the king of bongo, baby
[G]I'm the king of bongo bong

[Verse 7]
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come, baby
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come

[Verse 8]
[Am]They say that I'm a clown making
too much dirty [Dm]sound
They say there is no place for little
[G]monkey in this town
[Am]Nobody'd like to be in my
place instead of me
'Cause [Dm]nobody go crazy when
I'm [G]bangin' on my boogie

[Verse 9]
I'm [Am]the king of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come, baby
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come

[Verse 10]
[Am]Bangin' on my bongo,
all that swing belongs to me
I'm so [Dm]happy there's nobody
in my [G]place instead of me

[Verse 11]
I'm a [Am]king without a crown
hanging loose in a big town
[Dm]I'm the king of bongo, baby
[G]I'm the king of bongo bong

[Verse 12]
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come, baby
[Am]King of the bongo,
king of the bongo [Dm]bong
[G]Hear me when I come

[Verse 13]
[Am]Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
[Dm]Deep down in a jungle
I start [G]bangin' my first bongo

[Verse 14]
[G]Every [Am]monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause [Dm]I'm the king of bongo, baby
[G]I'm the king of bongo bong
[Am][Dm]

[Verse 15]
[G]Hear me when I [Am]come[Dm]
[G]Hear me when I come, [Am]baby (king of the bongo,
king of [Dm]the bongo [G]bong)
Hear me when I come
