lyrics
I’m gonna play my belly like a bongo.
I’m gonna play my belly like a bongo.
I’ll play my belly like a bongo while I sing this silly songo
And we’ll make music all day long!
I’m gonna play my nose like a kazoo.
I’m gonna play my nose like a kazoo.
I’ll play my nose like a kazoo and I hope I don’t Achoo!
I’ll play my belly like a bongo while I sing this silly songo
And we’ll make music all day long!
I’m gonna play my hands like two maracas.
I’m gonna play my hands like two maracas.
I’ll play my hands like two maracas while I dance the Cucaracha.
I’ll play my nose like a kazoo and I hope I don’t Achoo!
I’ll play my belly like a bongo while I sing this silly songo
And we’ll make music all day long!
I’m gonna play my arm like a trombone.
I’m gonna play my arm like a trombone.
I’ll play my arm like a trombone ‘til it makes my mama groan.
I’ll play my hands like two maracas while I dance the Cucaracha.
I’ll play my nose like a kazoo and I hope I don’t Achoo!
I’ll play my belly like a bongo while I sing this silly songo
And we’ll make music all day long!
I’m gonna play my ribs like a kalimba.
I’m gonna play my ribs like a kalimba.
I’ll play my ribs like a kalimba ‘til I’m laughing limb to limba.
I’ll play my arm like a trombone ‘til it makes my mama groan.
I’ll play my hands like two maracas while I dance the Cucaracha.
I’ll play my nose like a kazoo and I hope I don’t Achoo!”
I’ll play my belly like a bongo while I sing this silly songo
And we’ll make music all day long!
I’m gonna play my whole body like a band.
I’m gonna play my whole body like a band.
I’ll play my body like a band while the world gives me a big big hand.
(clapping) Thank you
