Cocoa
palms,

trees,
that's
the
Congo
Palmiers
à

c'est
le
Congo
Where
the
blazing
tropic
sun,
bakes
you
like
a
hot
cross
bun
Où
le
soleil
tropical
brûlant
te
cuit
comme
un
pain
d'épices
Where
mosquitoes
make
you
run,
that's
the
Congo
Où
les
moustiques
te
font
courir,
c'est
le
Congo
It's
grand
getting
tanned
when
you
loll
C'est
génial
de
bronzer
quand
tu
te
prélasses
Upon
the
sand
in
the
Congo,
in
the
Congo
Sur
le
sable
au
Congo,
au
Congo
All
that
you
wear
is
a
little
here
Tout
ce
que
tu
portes,
c'est
un
peu
ici
And
there
in
the
Congo,
in
the
Congo
Et
là
au
Congo,
au
Congo
You
take
a
hut
up
in
the
tree,
then
you're
in
high
society
Tu
prends
une
cabane
dans
l'arbre,
alors
tu
es
dans
la
haute
société
And
all
the
lovely
scenery
Et
tous
les
beaux
paysages
You
get
a
view
of
the
swamp
where
the
alligators
romp
Tu
as
une
vue
sur
le
marais
où
les
alligators
s'ébattent
Warm
summer
nights
when
they
light
the
Chaudes
nuits
d'été
quand
ils
allument
les
Harbour
lights
in
the
Congo,
in
the

Feux

beans
