I got the song, we got to Philadelphia And they didn't cut it I sang it eight a week For over a year and a half This is the original choreography Each morning, a missionary advertise with 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 Bongo, bongo, bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo Oh! No, no, no, no, no Bingo, bango, bongo 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 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 Bongo, bongo, bongo I don't wanna leave the Congo Oh! No, no, no, no, no Ba-ba-ba-bingo, bango, bongo I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go Don't want no high heels Butt packs Haircut Nail pick Padded brassiere I got my spears So no matter how they coax him I'm going to stay right here They have something called the nuclear bomb So I think I'll stay where I am Civilization I'll stay right here I don't go there Laugh it's all
