Rockin' in the congo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Rockin' in the Congo
[G]Rockin' in the Congo
[A]Listen to the lingo, [G]better start to swing
So [D]rockin' 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
[A]You could hea[G]r his rhythm
up and down the Nile
A [A]lion woke up and he let out a roar
Said, I [D]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
An elephant [Bm]shook his [D]mighty snout
Said, [G]what's this racket all about?
A [A]hyena laughed, said,
nothing's wrong
We're gonna [D]rock the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo
Rock[G]in' in the Congo
[A]Listen to the lingo
Bet[G]ter start to swing
So [D]rockin' in the Congo
U -Wa, [G]U -Wa, U[A] -Wa,
[D]U -[G]Wa
[A][D][Bm][D]
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
Until [G]he heard that rocking sound
He [A]started to sing with a go -man go
Then [D]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
Noth[G]in' in the jungle could keep still
The [A]day before was a -goin' strong
And they [D]rocked the Congo
all night long
Rockin' in the Congo,
rock[G]in' in the Congo
[A]Listen to the lingo, [G]better start to swing
So we're [D]rockin' in the Congo,
rock[A]in' in the Congo,
[D]baby, all night long.

[Outro 1]
