[ti:Civilization]
[ar:The Andrew Sisters]
[00:07.87]Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
[00:14.47]He tells the native population that civilization is fine
[00:19.62]And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
[00:25.38]That civilization is a thing for me to see
[00:31.26]So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
[00:36.42]Oh no no no no no
[00:39.98]Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[00:44.48]Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
[00:48.85]I make it clear
[00:52.25]That no matter how they coax him
[00:54.47]I'll stay right here
[00:58.13]I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
[01:05.09](Magazine? What happens?)
[01:07.40]I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
[01:11.72](You know you can get hurt that way Daniel)
[01:13.47]At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see
[01:17.06](What do they see Danny?)
[01:19.30]Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me
[01:23.26]So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo
[01:28.93]Oh no no no no no
[01:31.82]Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
[01:36.09]Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
[01:41.79]Noise in my ear
[01:43.58]So no matter how they coax him
[01:46.37]I'll stay right here
[01:52.26]They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
[01:58.24]And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
[02:04.54]When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
[02:10.46](What do they do Danny)
[02:12.88]They swim and they fish but that's what I do all year round
[02:16.48]So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
[02:21.79]Oh no no no no no
[02:24.77]Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[02:29.69]Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs
[02:34.36]I've got my spear
[02:36.51]So no matter how they coax him
[02:39.11]I'll stay right here
[02:42.16]They have things like the atom bomb
[02:45.79]So I think I'll stay where I "om"
[02:49.02]Civilization, I'll stay right here
