Mano Negra

Moma was queen of the mambo
Popa was king of the Congo
and deap down in the jungle
I started bangin'my first bongo
Every monkey’s like to be
in my place instead of me
'cause I'm the king of bongo
The king of bongo bong.

I want to the big town
Where there's a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
So I played my Bongo
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging my boogie

Cause people like disco
& people like house
That's why they don't applause
When I'm banging on my bongo
They say what I'm a clown
Makin' too much dirty sound
They say there is no crown
For little monkey in this town

Nobody like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie
But I don't like no disco
& I don't like the house
'cause I'm born to rock
I'm born to pogo

When I'm banging 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 with out a crown
Hanging loose in the big town
and I'm born to rock
i'm born to pogo
