It's late in the evening. She's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her make-up And brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?" And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That's walking around with me. And then she asks me, "Do you feel alright?" And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes, And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize How much I love you.
It's time to go home now, And I've got an aching head, So I give her the car keys. She helps me to bed. And then I tell her, As I turn out the light, I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight. Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

Sleigh bells ring are you listening in the lane snow is glistening A beautiful sight we're happy tonight walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song as we go along walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He'll say: Are you married? we'll say: No man But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire as we dream by the fire To face unafraid the plans that we've made walking in a winter wonderland In the meadow we can build a snowman and pretend that he's a circus clown We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman until the all the kids knock him down When it snows ain't it thrilling Though your nose gets a chilling We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way walking in a winter wonderland Walking in a winter wonderland walking in a winter wonderland
Each morning, a missionary advertises with neon sign He tells the native population that civilization is fine And three educated savages holler from a bongo tree (Eee!Alo ki pah hi sah hanah!) That civilization is a thing for me to see
So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no Bingle, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go Don't want no bright lights, false teeth, doorbells, landlords, I make it clear That no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
I looked through a magazine the missionary's wife concealed (Magazine? What happens?) I see how people who are civilized bung you with automobile (You know you can get hurt that way Daniel?) At the movies they have got to pay many coconuts to see (What do they see, Danny?) Uncivilized pictures that the newsreel takes of me
So bongo, bongo, bongo, he don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no Bingle, bangle, bungle, he's so happy in the jungle, he refuse to go Don't want no penthouse, bathtub, streetcars, taxis, noise in my ear So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They hurry like savages to get aboard an iron train (The Tringulu-guhu-Lahumbula express!) And though it's smoky and it's crowded, they're too civilized to complain (Alo-kono ho sah emah hinah!) When they've got two weeks vacation, they hurry to vacation ground (What do they do, Danny?) They swim and they fish, but that's what I do all year round
So bongo, bongo, bongo, I don't wanna leave the Congo, oh no no no no no Bingle, bangle, bungle, I'm so happy in the jungle, I refuse to go Don't want no jailhouse, shotgun, fish-hooks, golf clubs, I got my spears So, no matter how they coax him, I'll stay right here
They have things like the atom bomb, so I think I'll stay where I "om" Civilization, I'll stay right here!
