Bongo, My Bongo.
Your curves are so sweet.
Your lines are so neat.
Your frets don't sprout.
And you have no gout.
Bongo, My Bongo.

edit: Oh wow man! What a way to commemorate post 1500.

Thanks you, thank you. *bowing*

Man, I thought I'd painted myself into a corner on the sprout line but good ol' gout came to the rescue.

:D
 
O bongo O bongo
never sound wrongo
I could play you longo:
Longer than pongo
Not as long as my dongo
tho
 
bongo, my bogno;
your low end reminds me of thunder;
your low end likes to pillage and plunder;
your top end sings like a bird;
you are the best sound i have EVER heard.

MY bongo

:D

p.s. my precious:cool:
 
I seriously hope if you lot play in bands your other bandmates are responsible for writing the lyrics to your songs! Those rhymes were... mmm... uhhh... interesting. Maybe Hallmark is looking for people?

Gotta admit though, I had a go myself in my brain (ouch!), but don't have a bongo and couldn't come up with anything to rhyme with Stingray. Any takers?

Just messin' ;)

that's why i chose to be a bassplayer and not a singer/lyricist.:D
 
Oh StingRay, you were so young when I sold you off like a cheap whore
but the call of the Bongo made our relationship no more
but you went and you got those HH implants
and now in the back of my mind you dance,
won't you give me another chance?
