Jonathan Richman - Those Conga Drums lyrics

[Jonathan Richman - Those Conga Drums lyrics]

That's right, oooh that's right, oooh
That's right, oooh that's right, oooh
That's right, oooh

(That's right)
Well, down by the beach you know, every day
(oooh)
That's when the conga drums start to play
(That's right)
Their boom boom and a-thrum thrum (oooh)
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
Ooh, I kinda like them conga drums
Floating all around on the bum
That's when I got used to conga drums
Ooh, that's right yeah
Ooh, that's right yeah

(That's right)
Well, down by the beach you know
Around six o'clock (oooh)
That's when the conga drums start to rock
(That's right)
Eight or nine guys playing all in a row
(oooh)
Then somebody leaves becausе he's got to go

(Those conga drums)
Well, now thеre 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 yeah
Ooh, that's right yeah
Ooh, that's right ooh, that's right
Ooh, that's right ooh, that's right
Ooh, that's right ooh, that's right
