[00:09.00]Each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign
[00:14.15]He tells the native population that civilization is fine
[00:20.81]And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree
[00:27.22]That civilization is a thing for me to see
[00:33.03]So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
[00:36.67]Oh no no no no no
[00:39.70]Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[00:44.86]Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords
[00:49.00]I make it clear
[00:51.71]That no matter how they coax him
[00:54.00]I'll stay right here
[00:59.72]I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
[01:05.41](Magazine? What happens?)
[01:07.49]I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
[01:11.68](You know you can get hurt that way Daniel)
[01:13.00]At the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see
[01:17.59](What do they see Danny?)
[01:19.73]Uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me
[01:23.92]So bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo
[01:29.23]Oh no no no no no
[01:32.01]Bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go
[01:36.85]Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
[01:41.80]Noise in my ear
[01:44.33]So no matter how they coax him
[01:46.69]I'll stay right here
[01:52.27]They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
[02:00.41]And though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain
[02:04.86]When they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds
[02:10.83](What do they do Danny)
[02:12.75]They swin and they fish but that's what I do all year round
[02:18.51]So bongo, bongo, bongo I don't want to leave the congo
[02:22.55]Oh no no no no no
[02:24.74]Bingle, bangle, bungle I'm so happy in the jungle I refuse to go
[02:30.59]Don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs
[02:35.07]I've got my spear
[02:36.89]So no matter how they coax him
[02:39.76]I'll stay right here
[02:44.22]They have things like the atom bomb
[02:46.44]So I think I'll stay where I "om"
[02:49.67]Civilization, I'll stay right here
