[Verse 1]
[D]Oh, I could be [G]this or I c[C]ould be that[G]
I could [D]pull an [G]ele[D]phant out of a hat
[G]I could slay a dragon or I[C] could be a ki[G]ng
I could [D]be any[G]thing
I am at [F]occi

[Verse 2]
[G]dental in the land of
dragon's breath
Where they are not [F]orna[G]mental
but are real as [F]life or [G]death
Where they terror[Bb]ize the p[Gm]opulists[G],
the people [Bb]point with [Gm]fear
[F]For dra[Gm]gons hav[Bb]e no tho[Gm]ughtfulnes[F]s,
their [G]egos [Bb]are s[F]evere

[Verse 3]
My [G]name is Bongo and I may be small
I am the bravest man of them all
I'll fight the fearful dragon,
I'll kill him with my sword
I always fight big dragons,
espe[D]cially when I'm bored

[Verse 4]
[D]I met him [Gm]in the o[Cm]pen to
fight him fair [Gm]and square
His mouth he held wide [Cm]open,
putrefying the [Gm]air
He blazed such fearful [Cm]fires,
people thought [C]I was d[Gm]ead
But my courage engine fires
[D]and I chopped off his head

[Verse 5]
Oh, [G]I could d[D]o t[G]his o[D]r I co[C]uld do that[G]
[D]I c[G]ould pull[D] an elep[G]han[D]t out of a hat
[G]I could slay a dragon or
[C]I could be a[G] king[D]
[G]I c[D]ould d[G]o a[D]nythin[G]g

[Verse 6]
The [D]people [F]they all [G]cheered and they
gave out [F]quite a [G]whoop
For the dragon [F]they had [G]feared had
been turned to [F]dragon [G]poop
We partied [Bb]all d[Gm]ay a[F]nd we p[G]artied a[Bb]ll ni[Gm]ght
[F]They hel[G]d a r[Bb]oyal fes[Gm]tival whe[F]re
the [G]king made [Bb]me a k[F]night
Thy [G]name was Bongo

[Verse 7]
but
that no more shall stay
You once were simply Bongo
but now my Knight today
Sir Bongo, I now dub thee
Sir Bongo for [D]all eternity
Thy name shall be Sir [G]Bongo
The [Gm]following peace and

[Verse 8]
[Cm]de votional
was solemn and sub[Gm]lime
The king got all emotional and he
said [D]"All I have is Thine
[C]Take my only daughter, the princess fair
[G]And wit[C]h all my treasure you[G]'ll
make a royal pair
[C]She's so beautiful and so true,
she will [D]be your [F]bride
To have [C]a son- in- law like you
would give me [G]great pride
[D]And now[G] I can[D] begin[G] with
[D]my re[C]tirement [G]plan[D]
[G]Now I [D]know [G]the kingdom [D]rests

[Verse 9]
in your sure hands"
[D]
Now [Bb]from the moun[G]tains to the plains,
the Missis[Gm]sippi to the Con[G]go
[Gm]The whole world [G]knows the name of the of
[Gm]the g- g- g- good King B[F]ongo
Now from the moun[G]tains [Gm]to the plains[F],
Missis[G]sippi to the [F]Congo
The whole [G]world knows the name
of the of the [D]great Sir King Bongo
The [C]great [D]King Bongo

[Verse 10]
[G]I could do t[D]his or I[C] could be th[G]at[D]
[G]I could pull an elep[D]hant out of a hat
[G]I c[D]ould slay a d[G]ragon or I[C] could be a [G]king
I [D]could [G]do [D]anything
[G]Oh,[D]

[Verse 11]
[G]I could d[D]o t[G]his or I[C] could do th[G]at[D]
I could put that [G]elephant
[D]right back in his hat
[G]I c[D]ould slay a d[G]ragon or
[C]I could be a k[G]ing[D]
[G]I could b[D]e anyt[G]hing
[D]I c[G]oul[D]d be a[G]nyt[D]hing[G]
I [D]could [G]be [D]anything
[D]Bon[G]go
