Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) Lyrics

Civilaization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) - Louis Prima

Written by:Car Sigman/Bob Hillard

Bongo bongo bongo I don't want to leave the congo

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

I make it clear

 

That no matter how they coax him

I'll stay right here

 

Each morning a missionary advertises neon sign

 

He tells the native population that civilization is fine

 

And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree

 

That civilization is a thing for me to see

 

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 got to pay many coconuts to see

 

Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

 

So 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 jailhouse

Shotguns

Fish hooks

Golf clubs

I got my spears

 

So no matter how they coax him

 

I'll stay right here

 

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train

 

And though it's smokey and it's crowded

They're too civilized to complain

 

When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation ground

 

They swim and they fish but that's what I do all year round

 

So bongo bongo bongo

I don't wanna leave the congo

Oh no no no no no

 

Bingo bangle bungle

I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go

 

They have things like the atom bomb

 

So I think I'll stay where I ahm

 

Civilization no no no no

 

I'll stay right here
