Rockin' in the Congo - Hank Thompson/The Melody Masters[00:00:00]
Rocking in the congo rocking in the congo[00:00:05]
Listen to the lingo[00:00:10]
Better start to swing so rocking in the congo[00:00:11]
In the african jungle way down deep[00:00:15]
All of the animals fast asleep[00:00:17]
My native boy who's was having the jive[00:00:20]
Said I'm gonna make the jungle come alive[00:00:22]
Beating on the drum in his native style[00:00:25]
You can hear his rhythm up and down the nile[00:00:27]
A lion woke up and he let out a roar[00:00:29]
Say that I think I've heard that beat before[00:00:31]
A monkey swung down from high on a lim[00:00:34]
Said I feel that rhythm deap within[00:00:36]
An antelope jumped from behind the trees said[00:00:39]
It sure sounds mighty fine to me[00:00:41]
An elephant showed his mighty snout[00:00:44]
Said what's this racket all about[00:00:46]
A hyena laughed said nothing's wrong[00:00:49]
Cause they rocking the congo all night long[00:00:51]
Rocking in the congo rocking in the congo[00:00:54]
Listen to the lingo[00:00:59]
Better start to swing so rocking in the congo[00:01:00]
Well an alligator crawled from his watery bed[00:01:04]
Turned to the hippo and here's what he said[00:01:25]
Said jump that boy it's time to swing[00:01:27]
Can't you hear that rhythm ring[00:01:30]
An ostrich has his head in the ground[00:01:32]
Until he heard that rocking sound[00:01:35]
He started to sing well the go man go[00:01:37]
And he woke up the buffalo[00:01:39]
A zebra called to a snake doo doo[00:01:42]
Said this is the beat on me and you[00:01:44]
None of the animals have a clock[00:01:47]
But everybody knew it was time to rock[00:01:49]
Across the plains and high on the hill[00:01:52]
Nothing in the jungle could keep still[00:01:54]
The native boy was going strong[00:01:57]
And they rocked the congo all night long[00:01:59]
Rocking in the congo rocking in the congo[00:02:01]
Listen to the lingo[00:02:06]
Better start to swing so rocking in the congo[00:02:08]
Rocking in the congo baby all night long[00:02:11]
