Manu Chao – King Of The Bongo lyrics
Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Kongo
Deep down in the jungle
I start banging my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Coz I'm the king of Bongo baby I'm the king of Bongo-bong

I went to the big town where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city looking for a bigger crowd
So I played my boogie for the people of big city
But they don't go crazy when I'm banging on my boogie

[Refrain]
The King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come baby
King of the bongo king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Coz nobody go crazy when I bang it on my boogie
I'm a king without a crown and keep loosing the big town
But I'm the king of bongo baby I'm the king of bongo-bong

[Refrain]

They say that I'm a clown making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place for little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Coz nobody go crazy when I'm bangin on my boogie

[Refrain]

Bang it on my bongo all that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me
I'm a king without a crown and keep loosing the big town
I'm the king of bongo, baby I'm the king of bongo-bong

[Refrain]

Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Kongo
Deep down in the jungle
I start banging my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be in my place instead of me
'Coz I'm the king of Bongo baby I'm the king of Bongo-bong

Hear me when I come
Hear me when I come baby
Hear me when I come

Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
