Bongo

She walked in swingin' low and slow
Got rhythm in her hips, don't you know
Said, "Baby, can you keep that tempo?"
I said, "Only if you let it roll..."

Hands on skin, tap tap go
Feel that heat in stereo
She smiled like she already know
How to make a heartbeat echo

Little shake, little slide
Let the rhythm do the talking tonight

Play that bongo
Nice and strong, oh
Don't stop till the night gets long, oh
Left hand, right hand, nice and slow
Make it sing like a bongo

Beat that bongo
Soft then strong, oh
Got a rhythm we can ride on
Up high, down low
Everybody feel that bongo

Sweat on the drumhead glow
Fingertips put on a show
She said, "Don't rush the crescendo..."
I said, "I like it nice and slow..."

Tap that skin, roll that tone
Find that pocket, make it moan
When the lights drop low below
That rhythm's got a mind of its own

Oh, when you play it just right
Got the whole room movin' in time
Every touch a little spark
Strikin' fire in the dark

Play that bongo
Nice and strong, oh
Don't stop till the night gets long, oh
Left hand, right hand, nice and slow
Make it sing like a bongo

Beat that bongo
Soft then strong, oh
Got a rhythm we can ride on
Up high, down low
Everybody feel that bongo
