Civilization(Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) - Louis Prima & His Orchestra

Bongo bongo bongo

I don't wanna leave the Congo

Oh no no no no no

No no no no

Bingo bangle bungle

I'm so happy in the jungle

And I'll tell you so you were alone

Each morning

A missionary advertises neon sign

He tell the native population

That civilization is fine

Every educated savage is hollerin'

From a bamboo tree

That civilization is a thing for me to see

Whoa 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 me

I'll stay right here

Now I looked through a magazine

The missionary's wife concealed

I see the people who are civilized

Bang you with automobile

At the movies they have

Got to pay many coconuts to see

Uncivilized pictures

That the newsreel takes of me

So bongo bongo bongo

I don't wanna leave the Congo

Oh no no no no no

They hurry like savages

To get aboard an iron train

And though it's smoky 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 ha

That's what I do all year round

So bongo bongo bongo

I don't wanna leave the Congo

Oh no no no no 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

Jailhouse

A beater

Sweethearts

Hick kiss

We make it clear

They have things like the atom bomb

So I think I'll stay where I am

Civilization no no no no

I stay right here
