[00:09.36] Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
[00:15.08] He tells the native population that civilization is fine
[00:21.21] And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
[00:27.28] That civilization is a thing for me to see
[00:33.16] So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the Congo
[00:36.77] Oh no no no no no
[00:39.94] Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[00:44.99] Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
[00:49.38] I make it clear
[00:51.95] That no matter how they coax him
[00:54.50] I'll stay right here
[01:01.85] I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
[01:05.60] (Magazine? What happens?)
[01:07.76] I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
[01:11.81] (You know you can get hurt that way Daniel)
[01:13.84] At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see
[01:17.98] (What do they see Darling?)
[01:20.11] Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me
[01:25.13] So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the Congo
[01:29.49] Oh no no no no no
[01:32.68] Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
[01:37.77] Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
[01:42.02] Noise in my ear
[01:44.69] So no matter how they coax him
[01:47.08] I'll stay right here
[01:54.71] They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
[02:00.65] And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
[02:06.85] When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
[02:11.09] (What do they do Danny)
[02:12.84] They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round
[02:18.74] So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the Congo
[02:22.51] Oh no no no no no
[02:25.64] Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[02:30.83] Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs
[02:35.14] I've got my spear
[02:37.87] So no matter how they coax him
[02:40.43] I'll stay right here
[02:44.13] They have things like the atom bomb
[02:47.32] So I think I'll stay where I am
[02:50.22] Civilization, I'll stay right here
