Bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo Oh no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle happy in the jungle and I feel you, you will know
Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
Oh bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo Oh no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords I make it clear
That no matter how they coax him
I'll stay right here
Now I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me
So bongo, bongo, bong I don't want to leave the congo Oh no no no no
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo Oh no no no no no no no no Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, penthouse, a bathtub, streetcars, taxis We make it clear
They have things like the atom bomb
So I think I'll stay where I "om"
Civilization, no no no no, I'll stay right here
