Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)
AHHHHHHHHHHH

Bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no

Bingle, bangle, bungle happy in the jungle and I feel you, you will know

Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign

He tells the native population that civilization is fine

And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree

That civilization is a thing for me to see

Oh bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no

Bingle, 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

I'll stay right here

Now I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles

At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see

Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me

So bongo, bongo, bong I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no

They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train

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

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

They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round

So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
Oh no no no no no no no no
Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go

Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, penthouse, a bathtub, streetcars, taxis
We make it clear

They have things like the atom bomb

So I think I'll stay where I "om"

Civilization, no no no no, I'll stay right here
