[Verse 1]
Dig up the Congo
Breaking the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Making me well

[Break]
Who do you love?

[Verse 2]
You're a mess
Got a gun to your head
And drums in the night
Going blind
Hypnotized

[Chorus]
Lost in the Congo
Holding the bongo
Kilimanjaro
Dig up the conjo

[Verse 3]
Listen to drums for the name
Little hearts beat like saints come marching in

Deep in the bayou
Demon inside you
Put on the hoo doo
Put on the hoo doo

[Break]
Who do you love?

[Bridge]
"Hey mommy, do you see that man? Hey mommy, I don't understand"

"It's only a zombie, honey, hailing a cab. Just hold my hand and don't look in his face"

[Verse 4]
Jungle inside you
Something's beside you
Doing the mambo
Dig up the conjo

[Break]
Who do you love?

A loa down the well
Come and ring the bell
The jungle's burning down!

[Chorus]
Lost in the Congo
Beating the bongo
Dig up the conjo

[Break]
Who do you love?

[Verse 5]
To confess in the sun hold your breath
Something comes
It's alright
Half alive
Watching you while it flies

[Outro]
Lost in the Congo
Beating my bongo
Breaking the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Beating my bongo
Holding the mojo
Making me well

Blondie is an American rock band founded by singer Deborah Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including “Call Me”, “Atomic” and “Heart of Glass” and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band.
