Civilization Bongo Bongo Bongo (From "Fallout 4") - The Andrews Sisters, Danny Kaye

Each morning, a missionary advertises with neon sign

He tells the native population that civilization is fine

And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree (Eee!Alo ki pah hi sah

hanah!)

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

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 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,

Danny?)

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

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 (The

Tringulu-guhu-Lahumbula express!)

And though it’s smoky and it’s crowded, they’re too civilized to complain

(Alo-kono ho sah emah hinah!)

When they’ve got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation ground (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 wanna 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, 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 «om»

Civilization, I’ll stay right here!
