Deep 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 baby, I'm the king of bongo bong

Deep 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 baby, I'm the king of bongo bong


  Hear me when I come
  Hear me when I come baby
  Hear me when I come
