about

musically derived from the theme song of the Saturday morning live action serial feature program "Danger Island", with lyrics that try to explain...

lyrics

Uh Oh Chongo!

this is the story of a young man
who lived all alone on a tropical island
and never learned to speak except to say the name
given him by the shipwrecked sailor Morgan
so whenever danger threatened,
which was most of the time
the only thing he could say was

"Uh oh Chongo!"
is it the skeleton men?
or pirates, or cannibals?
or have they got the girl again?

so the Professor came looking -
with his assistant and teenage daughter -
for his brother who'd been searching for the lost city of Tobanya
captured by the headhunters, but rescued before the slaughter
then captured again by Captain Mu-Tan
he say "you got the map on ya?"
then Morgan knocks the pirates on their butt,
and Chongo knocks them out
with a coconut

Uh oh Chongo!
here come the skeleton men!
cannibals and headhunters
and they got the girl again...
