Um Bungo

[verna77]

Can anyone remember how the rhyme in the advert went?

[MORELLO]

Um Bungo, Bongo - they drink it in the Congo...

[ShellyHall]

Way down deep in the middle of the congo, the hippo picked an apricot a guava and a mango, he stuck it all together and he danced a dainty tango and the rhino said "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"

[ShellyHall]

Just had a thought.

Am I really sad for knowing that?

[ShellyHall]

Just thought of the rest of the song ...

Way down deep in the middle of the congo, the hippo picked an apricot a guava and a mango, he stuck it all together and he danced a daintey tango.  The rhino said "i know we'll call it um bongo"!
um bong go,um bongo they drink it in the congo.
the python picked a passion fruit the marmoset a manderin. the parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in.
so when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, they all prefer the sunny funny one they call um bongo!

ShellyHall, sorry to question your expertise in this subject but wasn't it a monkey that picked an apricot a guava and a mango?

Thanks everyone. Now that I've seen the words it's all come flooding back to me... Was drinking cocktails on holiday that tasted just like Um Bungo and we couldn't think of the words. Must have been the sun that made us forget....

Clicked on the link. Does anyone else think that it is Lenny Henry singing? You can get the umbongo song as a ring tone apparantly!
