Lyrics:

Now, listen to the beat, beat of the song, song
Go buzzing in my head, head like a bum dum
Listen to the beat, beat of the song
Buzzing in my head now, head like a bum dum
Twits and jerks, they do the boogie like one big flop
They don’t know about the soul wine habit club
I sing my song and I’m a rocker
I’m burning up with the puta’s fever
The beat, beat, beat of a song, song
Go buzzing in my head, head, head like a bum dum
(Oh) Listen to the beat (beat, beat) beat of the song, song
Go buzzing in my head… (Sat there)
Twits and jerks they do the boogie like…
Twits and jerks they do the boogie like…
Twits and jerks they do the boogie like
King- Kong- Five!
Beat, a beat of a song, song
Buzzing in my head now, head like a bum dum
Listen to the beat, a beat of a song, song
Buzzing in my head, my head like a bum dum
Standing alive, we’re the King Kong Five
Doing the King Kong jive on the Gabony boogie
What’s the matter with me? What’s the matter with me?
I’m playing like a-shaking under the coconut tree
Listen to the beat, beat of the song, song
Buzzing in my head, my head like a bum dum
Listen to the beat (beat, beat) beat of a song, song
Keep buzzing in my head (head, head) head like a bum dum
Twits and jerks they do the boogie like one big flop
They don’t know about the soul wine habit club
I sing my song and I’m a rocker
Burning up with the puta’s fever
To the beat, beat of the song, song
Buzzing in my head, head like a bum dum
Listen to the beat, beat of the song, song
Keep buzzing in my head, my head like a bum dum
, oh beat of the song, song
You’re buzzing in my head, my head like a bum dum
Listen to the beat (beat, beat) beat of the song, song
You’re buzzing in my head, head like a bum dum
Standing alive, we’re the King Kong Five
King Kong jive on the Gabony boogie
We’re standing alive, we’re the King Kong Five
King Kong jive on the Gabony boogie (Bum dum, what beat)
What’s the matter with me? What’s the matter with me?
I’m a-playing like a-shaking under the coconut tree
Listen to the beat
