4th track and one of the singles of Rudebox, Robbie decided to cover Manu Chao’s “Bongo Bong” and “Je Ne T'aime Plus” and combine them into one song. Robbie’s version also features vocals from Lily Allen.
[Part 1 - Bongo Bong]
[Verse 1]
Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
[Verse 2]
I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crown
I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
[Chorus]
I'm the King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hit me when I come
[Verse 3]
Nobody'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
I'm the King without a crown
Hanging loose in the big town
But I'm the King of bongo, baby
I'm the King of bongo bong
[Chorus]
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
[Verse 4]
They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place
For little monkey in this town
Nobody'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm bangin' on my boogie
[Chorus]
I'm the King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
[Verse 5]
Bangin' on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me
I'm a King without a crown
Hanging loose in a big town
But I'm the King of bongo baby
I'm the King of bongo bong
[Chorus]
I'm the King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hit me when I come
[Verse 6]
Mama was queen of the Mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I started bangin' my first bongo
Every monkey'd like to be
In my place instead of me
'Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong
[Chorus]
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo
King of the bongo bong
Hear me when I come
[Part 2 - Je Ne T’Aime Plus]
[Chorus]
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tout le jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tout le jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tout le jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tout le hours
[Verse 1]
Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement j'ai voulu croire
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien avoir
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te voir
[Chorus]
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
[Verse 2]
Parfois j'aimerais mourir tellement y a plus d'espoir
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour plus jamais te revoir
Parfois j'aimerais mourir pour ne plus rien savoir
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
[Chorus]
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus tous les jours
Je ne t'aime plus mon amour
Je ne t'aime plus et je m'appelle Robert
[Outro]
J'habite à Los Angeles et London
Je t'aime, je t'aime les filles
I don't know what to talk

I didn’t pick this song, It picked me… “King Of The Bongo” was played to me by a couple of friends of mine six years ago, and I always thought “I’ve got to cover this…” and now was the right time. “King Of The Bongo” to me is like an unwritten Disney film. How did Lily Allen end up on here? I knew a...
