Bongo Bong (Mano Negra / Manu Chao cover)

King of the Bongo
Manu Chao

Mama was queen of the mambo
papa was king of the congo
deep down in the jungle
I start banging my first bongo
every monkey like to be
in my place instead of me
cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

I went to the big town
where there is a lot of sound
from the jungle to the city
looking for a bigger crowd
so I played my boogie
for the people of big city
but they don't go crazy
when I banging on my boogie
I'm the

King of the bongo king of the bongo bong
hear me when [bad word]  baby
king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong

Nobody like to be
in my place instead of me
'cause nobody go crazy
when I banging on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown
hanging loose in the big town
but I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

King of the bongo king of the bongo bong
hear me when [bad word]  baby
king of the bongo, king of the bongo bong
hear me when [bad word] 

They say that I'm a clown
making too much dirty sound
they say there is no place
for little monkey in this town
nobody like to be
in my place instead of me
'cause nobody go crazy
when I banging on my boogie
I'm the

King of the bongo king of the bongo bong

Banging 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 without a crown
hanging loose in a big town
I'm the king of bongo baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
