Lyrics Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) - Louis Prima
Each
morning
a
missionary
advertise
with
neon
sign
He
tells
the
native
population
that
civilization
is
fine
And
three
educated
savages
holler
from
a
bongo
tree
That
civilization
is
a
thing
for
me
to
see
So
bongo,
bongo,
bongo
I
don′t
want
to
leave
the
Congo
Oh
no
no
no
no
no
Bingle,
bangle,
bungle
I'm
so
happy
in
the
jungle
I
refuse
to
go
Don′t
want
no
bright
lights,
false
teeth,
doorbells,
landlords
I
make
it
clear
That
no
matter
how
they
coax
him
Yeeeah,
I'll
stay
right
here
I
looked
through
a
magazine
the
missionary's
wife
concealed
Magazine?
What
happens?
I
see
how
people
who
are
civilized
bang
you
with
automobiles
You
know
you
can
get
hurt
that
way
Daniel
At
the
movies
they
have
got
to
pay
many
coconuts
to
see
What
do
they
see
Danny?)
Uncivilized
pictures
that
the
newsreel
takes
of
me
So
bongo,
bongo,
bongo,
he
don′t
want
to
leave
the
Congo
Oh
no
no
no
no
no
Bingle,
bangle,
bungle
he′s
so
happy
in
the
jungle
he
refuse
to
go
Don't
want
no
penthouse,
bathtub,
streetcars,
taxis
Noise
in
my
ear
So
no
matter
how
they
coax
him
Yeeeah,
I′ll
stay
right
here
They
hurry
like
savages
to
get
aboard
an
iron
train
And
though
it's
smoky
and
it′s
crowded
They're
too
civilized
to
complain
When
they′ve
got
two
weeks
vacation
They
hurry
to
vacation
ground
What
do
they
do
Danny?
They
swim
and
they
fish,
But
that's
what
I
do
all
year
round
So
bongo,
bongo,
bongo
I
don't
want
to
leave
the
congo
Oh
no
no
no
no
no
Bingle,
bangle,
bungle
I′m
so
happy
in
the
jungle
I
refuse
to
go
Don′t
want
no
jailhouse,
Shotguns,
Fish
hooks,
Golf
clubs,
I
got
my
spears
So
no
matter
how
they
coax
him
Yeeeah,
I'll
stay
right
here
They
have
things
like
the
atom
bomb
So
I
think
I′ll
stay
where
I
a-a-m
Civilization,
I'll
stay
right
here
