G#m
Mama was queen of the mambo
G#m
Papa was king of the Congo
C#m
Deep down in the jungle
          F#

G#m
I went to the big town
G#m
Where there is a lot of sound
C#m
From the jungle to the city
          F#
Looking for a bigger crown

G#m
So I play my boogie
G#m
For the people of big city

But they donʼt go crazy

Making too much dirty sound
C#m
They say there is no place
          F#
for little monkey in this town
G#m
Nobodyʼd like to be
