Rock in' in the Congo
B
A
Listen to the lingo, better start to swing
E
So rock in' in the Congo
In the African jungle, way down deep
All of the animals fast asleep
A native boy who was kept to the jive
Said I'm gonna make the
jungle poppin' alive
Beatin' on the drum in his native style
B
A
You could hear his rhythm
up and down the Nile
B
A lion woke up and he let out a roar
E
Said, I think I've heard that beat before
A monkey swung down
from a howl of limbs
Said, I feel that rhythm deep within
An antelope jumped from behind a tree
Said, it sure sounds mighty fine to me
C#m
E
An elephant shook his mighty snout
A
Said, what's this racket all about?
B
A hyena laughed, said,
nothing's wrong
E
We're gonna rock the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo

E
Well, an alligator crawled
from his watery bed
Turned to the kempo and
here's what he said
Said, jump that boy, it's time to swing
Can't you hear that rhythm ring?
An ostrich pat his head in the ground
A
Until he heard that rocking sound
B
He star ted to sing with a go -man go
E
Then he woke up the buffalo
A zebra called to a slick kudu
Said, this is the beat for me and you
None of the animals had a clock
But everybody knew it was time to rock
Across the plains and high on a hill
A
Noth in' in the jungle could keep still
B
The day before was a -goin' strong
E
And they rocked the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo,
A
rock in' in the Congo
B
A
Listen to the lingo, better start to swing
E
So we're rockin' in the Congo,
B
rock in' in the Congo,
E
baby, all night long.
