Down on the Congo
far, far away,
once lived a Zulu King.
Born in Missouri,
he sailed one day,
Cook on an ocean liner,
then came a shipwreck,
cook washed ashore,
found by a Zulu band,
That was how he came to be,
such a mighty King you see,
down in the Congo land.

Zam Zam Zam
was the title they gave him
Zam Zam Zam Alagazam
our mighty Alagazam.
The only words he knew
of the language of Congo
were Zam Zam Zam Zam Zam Alagazam zam
How do you do?

Zam Zam Zam
was the title they gave him
Zam Zam Zam Alagazam
our mighty Alagazam.
The only words he knew
of the language of Congo
were Zam Zam Zam Zam Zam Alagazam zam
How do you do?

Dressed in a stovepipe,
collar and shoes,
Zam Zam was quite a dude,
young Zulu maidens said he could choose
which one he'd like to marry,
one was a beauty,
stately and tall,
'Love me,' he tried to say,
but she couldn't understand,
when he asked her for her hand,
single he had to stay.

Zam Zam Zam
was the title they gave him
Zam Zam Zam Alagazam
our mighty Alagazam.
The only words he knew
of the language of Congo
were Zam Zam Zam Zam Zam Alagazam zam
How do you do?

Zam Zam Zam
was the title they gave him
Zam Zam Zam Alagazam
our mighty Alagazam.
The only words he knew
of the language of Congo
were Zam Zam Zam Zam Zam Alagazam zam
How do you do?
