English[edit]

DK:
Kongo Bongo Island, we stand brave and true
We'll fight for her honor and Inka Dinka Doo
From on top of the White Mountains, your glory rises high
To the sky!

From vine to vine is so divine
When your swingin' on a Kongo Bongo line
Our ocean view is powder-blue
There's so much to inspire you

CANDY:
Can't you feel the heat
Risin' up through your feet?

DK, DIDDY, CANDY, & CRANKY:
On the island
The island of Kongo Bongo
Everybody
Come on, dance and sing along now

DK:
A tropic breeze, your mind at ease
Sittin' under tall banana trees
Coconuts galore and so much more
You'll be dancin' on the shore

CANDY:
There's no need to think twice
It's an isle of paradise

DK, DIXIE, FUNKY, & BLUSTER:
On the island
The island of Kongo Bongo
Everybody
Come on, dance and sing along now
Island
The island of Kongo Bongo
Everybody
Come on, dance and sing along now

Singer Danish lyrics Translation
DK

Skønne Kongo Bongo, vi hylder dig nu
Vi kæmper for din nære, og Inca Dinka Du
Og fra bjerges hvide tænder, dit navn vil stig op
Helt si top!

Vil du have det ret, så er det klart
Du skal tage til Kongo Bongo i en fart
Vores hav er flot, det er klart og flot
Ja, her har vi det rigtig godt

Beautiful Kongo Bongo, we salute you now
We fight for your loved ones, and Inca Dinka Du
And from the white teeth of the mountains, your name will rise
To the very top!

If you want it right, then it's clear
You have to go to Kongo Bongo quickly
Our sea is beautiful, it's clear and beautiful
Yes, we have it really good here

This is our beautiful country

Her på en
Som vi kalder Kongo Bongo
Her er der dejligt
Det er det bedste sted at bodo

Here it is lovely
It is the best place to live

DK

Er du træt af sne og is og slud
Skulle du tage og tage et smut herud
Har altid varmt og evig grønt
Her livet altid skønt

Are you tired of snow and ice and sleet
Should you go and take a trip out here
Always warm and eternally green
Here life is always beautiful

Candy

Når du først er kommet frem
Vil du aldrig mere hjem

Once you arrive
You'll never want to go home again
