| A particular favorite of mine when I was a kid, this version by Louis Prima always had more of an appeal to me than the one by Danny Kaye and the Andrews Sisters. | - Stavro Arrgolus |

| Song Lyrics: |
('jungle' noises)
Bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo
Oh no no no no no
No no no no no!
Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle and I'll tell you
so you will know
Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign
He tell the native population that civilization is fine
Every educated savage is hollerin' from a bamboo tree
That civilization is a thing for me to see
Whoa, bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna 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 me, I'll stay right here
Now, I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
I see the people who are civilized bang you with automobile
At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see
Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
So, bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo,
Oh no no no no no-
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
They swim and they fish, ha, that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo
Oh no no no no no
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... streetcars, taxis-
We make it clear!
They have things like the atom bomb
so I think I'll stay where I "ahm"
Civilization, no no no no no! I stay right here!
