Louis Prima - Civilization

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
