Well down by the beach you know, every day That's when the conga drums start to play Their boom boom and thrum thrum At first that sound seemed kind of dumb (Those conga drums) When I was lonely back in '73 (Those conga drums) That's when the conga drums spoke to me (Those conga drums) I was was kind of poor, I didn't have much choice It was just those drums and the human voice Well boom boom boom and a thrum thrum Oooh I kinda like them conga drums Floating all around On the bum That's when I got used to conga drums
Ooooh That's Right
Well, down by the beach you know, around six o'clock That's when the conga drums start to rock Eight or nine guys playing all in a row Then somebody leaves because he's got to go (Those conga drums) Well now there are nine playing all in a row (Those conga drums) Then someone leaves because he's got to go (Those conga drums) I gotta like the beats with these here conga drums 'Cause the teen gang's standing by the old wine bums Well I was kind of lonely, kind of thin 'round the middle I took down my guard and loosened up just a little Floating all around On the bum That's when I got used to conga drums
