Music & Lyrics: Manu Chao Album: Clandestino (1998) [Intro] |Am |Dm |G |Am | |Am |Dm |G | [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
Hear me when I come, baby

Am                 Am                  Dm   G
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)
[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

    Dm                           G
But I'm the king of Bongo, baby, I'm the king of Bongo Bong
[Chorus]
Am                 Am                  Dm
(King of the Bongo, King of the Bongo Bong)

G
Hear me when I come, baby

[Verse 4]
     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
Nobody liked to be in my place instead of me

         Dm                     G
'Cause nobody go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie
[Chorus]
      Am
I'm the

[Verse 5]
Am                           Am
Banging on my bongo all that swing belongs to me

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

      Am                            Am
I'm a king without a crown, hanging loose in a big town
