Lyrics Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)

Each mornin' a missionary advertises neon sign

He tells the native population that civilization is fine

And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree

Eep

Eloki-pahee-sahana

That civilization is a thing for me to see

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

Don't want no bright lights

False teeth, doorbells, landlords

I make it clear

That no matter how they coax him

Yep

I'll stay right here

I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed

Magazine

What happens

I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobile

You know you can get hurt that way Daniel

At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see

What do they see Danny

Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

So bongo, bongo, bongo

He don't wanna leave the Congo

Oh no no no no no

Bingo, bangle, bungle

He's so happy in the jungle

He refuse to go

Don't want no penthouse, bathtub

Streetcars, taxis

Noise in my ear

So no matter how they coax him

Yep

I'll stay right here

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train

The Tringle-lingle-hoola-humbaloo

Express

And though it's smokey and it's crowded they're too civilized to complain

Alokoko-hosahima-hana

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

What do they do Danny

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

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

Bingo, bangle, bungle

I'm so happy in the jungle

I refuse to go

Don't want no jailhouse

Fish-hooks

Shotgun

Golf clubs

I got my spears

So no matter how they coax him

Yep

I'll stay right here

They have things like the atom bomb

So I think I'll stay where I am

Civilization

I'll stay right here
