Bongo Bongo - Lyrics by Manu Chao


Lyrics
Mama was queen of the mambo 
papa was king of the kongo
deep down in a djungle
last up banging life has Bongo

Everybody 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 djungle to the city
looking for a bigger crown

So I play my Bongee
for the people of this city
but they don´t go crazy
when I´m banging all my boogie
I´m the

Refrain:
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the Bongo
King of the Bongo

Nobody like to be
in my place instead of me
cause nobody go crazy
when I´m banging all my boogie

I´m a king without a crown
and I´m loosing a big town
but I´m the king of Bongo
baby I´m the king of Bongo Bong

Refrain

They said that I´m a clown
liking too much dirty sound
they said 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´m banging all my boogie
I´m the

Refrain

Banging all my boogie
all that swing belongs to me
I´m so uppy there´s nobody
in my place instead of me

I´m a king without a crown
and loosing a big town
but I´m the king of Bongo
baby I´m the king of Bongo Bong

Refrain

Mama was queen of the mongo
papa was king of the kongo
deep down in a djungle
last up banging life has Bongo

Everybody like to be
in my place instead of me
cause I´m the king of Bongo
baby I´m the king of Bongo Bong

Je ne t´aime plus mon amour
Je ne t´aime plus tout le jour
Je ne t´aime plus mon amour
Je ne t´aime plus tout le jour
