The Andrews Sisters feat. Danny Kaye - Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) Lyrics

Lyrics Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo) - The Andrews Sisters , Danny Kaye



Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign
He tells the native population that civilization is fine
And three educated savages holler from a bamboo 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
Bingo, 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) 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 bung you with
Automobile (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, darling)
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
Bingo, 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) I'll stay right here
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train
And though it's smokey 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, darling)
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
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go
Don't want no jailhouse,
(Shotgun) fish hooks (golf clubs) I got my spears
(So, no matter how they coax him) I'll stay right here
They have things like the atom bomb (so I think I'll stay where I am)
Civilization, I'll stay right here
