Civilization

Lyrics

I got the song, we got to Philadelphia
 And they didn't cut it
 I sang it eight a week
 For over a year and a half
 This is the original choreography
 Each morning, a missionary advertise with 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
 Bongo, bongo, bongo
 I don't wanna leave the Congo
 Oh! No, no, no, no, no
 Bingo, bango, bongo
 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
 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
 They swim and they fish
 But that's what I do all year round
 Bongo, bongo, bongo
 I don't wanna leave the Congo
 Oh! No, no, no, no, no
 Ba-ba-ba-bingo, bango, bongo
 I'm so happy in the jungle
 I refuse to go
 Don't want no high heels
 Butt packs
 Haircut
 Nail pick
 Padded brassiere
 I got my spears
 So no matter how they coax him
 I'm going to stay right here
 They have something called the nuclear bomb
 So I think I'll stay where I am
 Civilization
 I'll stay right here
 I don't go there
 Laugh it's all
