[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
  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

[Chorus]
      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

[Verse 3]
  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
Continues after the ad
    Dm                           G
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong

     Am                           Am
They said that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
     Dm                                G
They said there is no place for little monkey in this town
  Am                     Am

I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
