[Verse 1]
AmAm
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo
DmG
Deep down in a jungle I started banging my first bongo
AmAm
Every monkey like to be, in my place instead of me
DmG
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
[Verse 2]
AmAm
I went to the big town where there is a lot of sound
DmG
From the jungle to the city looking for a bigger crown
AmAm
So I play my Boogie for the people of big city
DmG
But they don't go crazy when I'm banging all my boogie
[Chorus]
Am
I'm the
AmDm
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)
G
Hear me when I come, baby
AmAmDmG
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)
[Verse 3]
AmAm
Nobody likes to be in my place instead of me
DmG
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
AmAm
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
DmG
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
[Chorus]

(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)

Hear me when I come, baby

G
Hear me when I come
[Verse 4]
AmAm
They said that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
DmG
They said there is no place for little monkey in this town
AmAm
Nobody liked to be in my place instead of me
DmG
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
[Chorus]
Am
I'm the
AmDm
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)

[Verse 5]
AmAm
Banging on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
DmG
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
AmAm
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
DmG
I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
[Chorus]

Hear me when I come
[Verse 6]
AmAm
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo
DmG
Deep down in a jungle I started banging my first bongo
AmAm
Every monkey like to be, in my place instead of me
DmG
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
