each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign[00:00:09]

he tells the native population that civilization is fine[00:00:14]

and three educated savages holler from a bongo tree[00:00:20]

that civilization is a thing for me to see[00:00:27]

so bongo, bongo, bongo i don't want to leave the congo[00:00:33]

oh no no no no no[00:00:36]

bingle, bangle, bungle i'm so happy in the jungle i refuse to go[00:00:39]

don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords[00:00:44]

i make it clear[00:00:49]

that no matter how they coax him[00:00:51]

i'll stay right here[00:00:54]

i looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed[00:00:59]

(magazine? what happens?)[00:01:05]

i see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles[00:01:07]

(you know you can get hurt that way daniel)[00:01:11]

at the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see[00:01:13]

(what do they see danny?)[00:01:17]

uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me[00:01:19]

so bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo[00:01:23]

oh no no no no no[00:01:29]

bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go[00:01:32]

don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis[00:01:36]

noise in my ear[00:01:41]

so no matter how they coax him[00:01:44]

i'll stay right here[00:01:46]

they hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train[00:01:52]

and though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain[00:02:00]

when they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds[00:02:04]

(what do they do danny)[00:02:10]

they swin and they fish but that's what i do all year round[00:02:12]

so bongo, bongo, bongo i don't want to leave the congo[00:02:18]

oh no no no no no[00:02:22]

bingle, bangle, bungle i'm so happy in the jungle i refuse to go[00:02:24]

don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs[00:02:30]

i've got my spear[00:02:35]

so no matter how they coax him[00:02:36]

i'll stay right here[00:02:39]

they have things like the atom bomb[00:02:44]

so i think i'll stay where i "om"[00:02:46]

civilization, i'll stay right here[00:02:49]
