Civilisation (Bongo Bongo Bongo)

ANDREWS SISTERS:
 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
 DANNY KAYE:
 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
 AS: That no matter how they coax him
 DK: Yeeeah, I'll stay right here
 DK: I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed
 AS: Magazine? What happens?
 DK: I see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles
 AS: You know you can get hurt that way Daniel
 DK: At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see
 AS: What do they see Danny?)
 DK: Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
 AS: 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
 DK: Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis
 Noise in my ear
 AS: So no matter how they coax him
 DK: Yeeeah, I'll stay right here
 AS: 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
 DK: When they've got two weeks vacation
 They hurry to vacation ground
 AS: What do they do Danny?
 DK: They swim and they fish,
 But that's what I do all year round
 ALL: 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
 DK: Don't want no jailhouse,
 AS: Shotguns,
 DK: Fish hooks,
 AS: Golf clubs,
 DK: I got my spears
 AS: So no matter how they coax him
 DK: Yeeeah, I'll stay right here
 AS: They have things like the atom bomb
 DK: So I think I'll stay where I a-a-m
 ALL: Civilization, I'll stay right here
