Dean Martin - Santo Domingo / Bongo Bongo lyrics

(1953)

(with Jerry Lewis & Carmen Miranda)

In San Domingo (JL) Re-bah

There's bongo bingo (JL) Re-bah re-bah

It's quite the thing-o (JL) Aw-wah

In San Domingo (JL) Aw-wah aw-wah

That's where the gang go (JL) Ole

To bongo bingo (JL) Re-bah ole

And the fandango (JL) Aw-wah ole

In San Domingo (JL) Ole ole ole oh

Ole (JL) Ole ee-to

Ole (JL) Ole ee-to

Ole (JL) Ole ee-to ole ee-to hoo hoo

The castinets they get a play

Castinets make you sway

The bongo bingo (JL) Ay-yi bingo

And you'll be king-o (JL) Ay-yi bingo

In San Domingo (JL) Oh bongo bingo

If you know how to sway

You can learn how to play

Just the way that they play in San Domingo

If you beat when you hum

Just repeat it on a drum

And they'll know that you've come to San Domingo

Bongo bingo (CM) Bingo bingo bingo bingo ay-ay-ay-ay

Go where the gang go (JL&CM) .. noise ..

And learn the lingo (JL&CM) .. noise ..

And you fandango (JL&CM) .. noise ..

In San Domingo (JL&CM) .. noise ..

Just bingo bongo (JL&CM) .. noise ..

Just bongo bingo (JL&CM) .. noise ..

And we go king-o (JL&CM) .. noise ..

In San Domingo (CM) Bango

(All) Bango bingo bye bye two three four five six ole
