Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign |
| [00:14.15] |
He tells the native population that civilization is fine |
| [00:20.81] |
And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree |
| [00:27.22] |
That civilization is a thing for me to see |
| [00:33.03] |
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo |
| [00:36.67] |
Oh no no no no no |
| [00:39.70] |
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go |
| [00:44.86] |
Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords |
| [00:49.00] |
I make it clear |
| [00:51.71] |
That no matter how they coax him |
| [00:54.00] |
I'll stay right here |
| [00:59.72] |
I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed |
| [01:05.41] |
(Magazine? What happens?) |
| [01:07.49] |
I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles |
| [01:11.68] |
(You know you can get hurt that way Daniel) |
| [01:13.00] |
At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see |
| [01:17.59] |
(What do they see Danny?) |
| [01:19.73] |
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me |
| [01:23.92] |
So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo |
| [01:29.23] |
Oh no no no no no |
| [01:32.01] |
Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go |
| [01:36.85] |
Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis |
| [01:41.80] |
Noise in my ear |
| [01:44.33] |
So no matter how they coax him |
| [01:46.69] |
I'll stay right here |
| [01:52.27] |
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train |
| [02:00.41] |
And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain |
| [02:04.86] |
When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds |
| [02:10.83] |
(What do they do Danny) |
| [02:12.75] |
They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round |
| [02:18.51] |
So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo |
| [02:22.55] |
Oh no no no no no |
| [02:24.74] |
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go |
| [02:30.59] |
Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs |
| [02:35.07] |
I've got my spear |
| [02:36.89] |
So no matter how they coax him |
| [02:39.76] |
I'll stay right here |
| [02:44.22] |
They have things like the atom bomb |
| [02:46.44] |
So I think I'll stay where I "om" |
| [02:49.67] |
Civilization, I'll stay right here |
