Lyrics

[Hey I've got an idea I'm gonna try a new song out on ya, you haven't heard this one
It's called "Those Conga Drums" you see when I was done on the beach in Venice,
I was lonely I didn't have much to do,
I just would hear these Conga Drums everyday
And I didn't used to care for Conga Drums until that time I thought that they were just ok
But then once I loosened up a little and I said well maybe they're not so bad I started to really like them
So we have this song called "Those Conga Drums"]

A 1 a 2 a 1 2 3

Well down by the beach you know, every day
That's when the conga drums start to play
Boom boom boom and a thrum thrum

Oooh I got to like them conga drums
Floating all around
On the bum
Well That's when I got used to conga drums

Then somebody leaves because he's got to go

(Those conga drums)
Eight or nine are playing all in a row
Then someone leaves because he's got to go
I kind of like the beats with these here conga drums
That way the teen gang's standing standing next to the old wine bums

Well I was getting lonely, kind of thin 'round the middle
I put down my guard and loosened up just a little
Floating all around

[You know, the hippies are out there in Venice California
I didn't like those conga drums at first
I said, oh no this is gross
I was from the east coast
I thought this was ???
I thought
But no no
There I was in Venice California
Out of work
Watching the sun set with these other people
And there these guys
There was six guys playing all in a row with the conga drums
And at first I had a resistance
That's what I mean by loosed up a little
Cause first I said, no no no
I don't like hippie stuff
I don't like this
And no no
So anyway
Anyway, I gave in
It was fun
???
It was fun
Excuse me, I forgot
That's how it goes, oh yeah
Like this]

Eight or nine guys playing all in a row
Then somebody leaves cause he's got to go

(Those conga drums)
Eight or nine are playing all in a row
(Those conga drums)
Then somebody leaves cause [everyone has to do that]
I kind of like the beach with them conga drums
The teen gang's standing by the old wine bums

When I was getting lonely, you know, a little bit thin 'round the middle
Well, I let down my guard, and all right, I'll loosen up a little
Well floating all around
On the bum
