Bongo and his Baboon Drum

Poor little bongo
Bongo lost his drum
Bongo lived in the Belgian Congo
Bongo lived near the yellow sun
Bongo beat on a bamboo drum
The bamboo drum went rum tum tum
Monkeys tangoed through the treetops
Lions leaped in the yellow sun
Elephants danced among the plants
When the bamboo drum went rum tum tum
Life was grand in the Belgian Congo
Life was gay and full of fun
Till one day in the month of may
A big baboon ate bongo’s drum
Poor little bongo
Pity little bongo
Bongo lost his drum
Bongo wept and bongo cried
Cried because he lost his drum
Elephants, lions, and monkeys said «Big baboon what have you done»
Big baboon then hung his head «I eat bongo’s drum"He said
«But tell bongo not to cry, I will be his drum instead»
Bongo laughed and jumped for joy
Bongo beat a merry tune
Beat a tune on the big baboon
The big baboon went boom boom boom
Happy little bongo
Lucky little bongo
Bongo found his drum
Monkeys tangoed thought the treetops
Lions leaped beneath the moon
Elephants danced among the plants
When the big baboon goes boom boom boom
