Am                           Am 
Mama was queen of the mambo, Papa was king of the Congo 
Dm                              G 
Deep down in a jungle I started banging my first bongo 
Am                       Am 
Every monkey like to be, in my place instead of me 
    Dm                              G 
'Cause I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong 


  Am                            Am 
I went to the big town where there is a lot of sound 
         Dm                         G 
From the jungle to the city looking for a bigger crown 
     Am                     Am 
So I play my Boogie for the people of big city 
         Dm                      G 
But they don't go crazy when I'm banging all my boogie 


      Am 
I'm the 
                   Am                  Dm 
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong) 
                   G 
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo 
Am                 Am                  Dm 
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong) 
                   G 
King-ki-ring-king, king-a-rim of bongo 


  Am                     Am 
Nobody likes to be in my place instead of me 
         Dm                     G 
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie 
      Am                            Am 
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town 
    Dm                           G 
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
