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

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

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 newsreels take of me

So bongo bongo bong

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

I'll stay right here

They hurry like savages

To get aboard an iron train

And though it's smoky and crowded

They're too civilized to complain

When they've got two weeks vacation

They hurry to vacation grounds

(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've got my spear

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 "om"

Civilization I'll stay right here
