Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)

The Andrews Sisters with Danny Kaye

- written by Bob Hilliard and Carl Sigman

- as recorded September 27, 1947 in Los Angeles by The Andrews Sisters

With Danny Kaye and Vic Schoen & His Orchestra.

Each morning, a missionary advertises neon sign

He tells the native population that civilization is fine

And three educated savages holler from a bamboo tree

That civilization is a thing for me to see

So 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 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 bung you with automobile (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,

Darling?)

Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me

So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no

Bingo, 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 smokey 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, Darling?)

They swim and they fish, but 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

Bingo, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go

Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun, fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got my spears

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 "ahm"

Civilization, I'll stay right here!
