"Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, A hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others and he danced a dainty tango. The rhino said, "I know... we'll call it Um Bongo!" Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo! The python picked the passion-fruit, The marmoset the mandarine, the parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in. So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, they all prefer the sunny, funny one they call Um Bongo!"
Does anyone else remember this yummy drink? I loved it!!

For a little while they also did a drink called un ognob or something like that- which in my opinion tasted better!

Samantha do you mean your friend sung it at school or sung it on the advert? If it was the advert, she must have had a very deep voice!!

The song was sung by a girl at my School. I think her name was Cathy and she had red hair.
