[Intro] Tap-tap, answer back Little hands on a wooden track [Verse 1] Pick a beat from the air today Two round drums and a game to play Left goes knock and the right goes pop Keep that little rhythm on top [Pre-Chorus] Hear the pattern, count it through One for me and one for you [Chorus] Bongo, bongo, pass it around Tap that rhythm, wake the town Bongo, bongo, bright and quick Catch the beat and make it stick [Verse 2] A barrel rolls, a parrot calls Banana peel by the castle walls Every turn has a sound to find Hands keep time while we climb and climb [Pre-Chorus] Hear the pattern, count it through One for me and one for you [Chorus] Bongo, bongo, pass it around Tap that rhythm, wake the town Bongo, bongo, bright and quick Catch the beat and make it stick [Bridge] Slow it down—knock, knock Speed it up—pop, pop Miss a beat? Just start anew The next good pattern’s coming through [Final Chorus] Bongo, bongo, pass it around Tap that rhythm, wake the town Bongo, bongo, bright and quick Catch the beat and make it stick [Outro] Tap-tap, answer back One more round on the wooden track
