i could be anything
Singer:violent femmes
i could be this or i could be that
i could pull an elephant out of a hat
i could slay a dragon or i could be a king
i am at occidental in the land of dragon's breath
where they are not ornamental but are real as life or death
where they terrorize the populists
the people point with fear
for dragons have no thoughtfulness
my name is bongo and i may be small
i am the bravest man of them all
i'll fight the fearful dragon
i'll kill him with my sword
i always fight big dragons
especially when i'm bored
i met him in the open to fight him fair and square
his mouth he held wide open
he blazed such fearful fires
people thought i was dead
but my courage engine fires and i chopped off his head
i could do this or i could do that
i could pull an elephant out of a hat
i could slay a dragon or i could be a king
the people they all cheered and they gave out quite a whoop
for the dragon they had feared had been turned to dragon poop
we partied all day and we partied all night
they held a royal festival where the king made me a knight
thy name was bongo but that no more shall stay
you once were simply bongo but now my knight today
sir bongo for all eternity
thy name shall be sir bongo
the following peace and devotional was solemn and sublime
the king got all emotional and he said all i have is thine
