《Civilization》歌词

[00:00:09] each morning a missionary advertise with neon sign

[00:00:14] he tells the native population that civilization is fine

[00:00:20] and three educated savages holler from a bongo tree

[00:00:27] that civilization is a thing for me to see

[00:00:33] so bongo, bongo, bongo i don't want to leave the congo

[00:00:36] oh no no no no no

[00:00:39] bingle, bangle, bungle i'm so happy in the jungle i refuse to go

[00:00:44] don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords

[00:00:49] i make it clear

[00:00:51] that no matter how they coax him

[00:00:54] i'll stay right here

[00:00:59] i looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed

[00:01:05] (magazine? what happens?)

[00:01:07] i see how people who are civilized bang you with automobiles

[00:01:11] (you know you can get hurt that way daniel)

[00:01:13] at the movies they have to pay many coconuts to see

[00:01:17] (what do they see danny?)

[00:01:19] uncivilized pictures that the newsreels take of me

[00:01:23] so bongo, bongo, bong he don't want to leave the congo

[00:01:29] oh no no no no no

[00:01:32] bingle, bangle, bungle he's so happy in the jungle he refuse to go

[00:01:36] don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis

[00:01:41] noise in my ear

[00:01:44] so no matter how they coax him

[00:01:46] i'll stay right here

[00:01:52] they hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train

[00:02:00] and though it's smoky and crowded they're too civilized to complain

[00:02:04] when they've got two weeks vacation they hurry to vacation grounds

[00:02:10] (what do they do danny)

[00:02:12] they swin and they fish but that's what i do all year round

[00:02:18] so bongo, bongo, bongo i don't want to leave the congo

[00:02:22] oh no no no no no

[00:02:24] bingle, bangle, bungle i'm so happy in the jungle i refuse to go

[00:02:30] don't want no jailhouse, shotguns, fish hooks, golf clubs

[00:02:35] i've got my spear

[00:02:36] so no matter how they coax him

[00:02:39] i'll stay right here

[00:02:44] they have things like the atom bomb

[00:02:46] so i think i'll stay where i "om"

[00:02:49] civilization, i'll stay right here
