[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 |
