Bongo (tan tail)

POEM

Bongo the monkey lives in a tree
The happiest monkey you'll ever see
In his spare time he plays the guitar
One of these days he will be a big star !

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. There is also a version of Bongo with a brown tail.

2. Bongo's previous name was Nana. Ty Warner liked the name Bongo better because he plays the Bongos.

3. Bongo is made with the same fabric as Bessie (style 4009), Pouch (style 4161), Sly (style 4115) and Tusk (style 4076).

4. When Ty renamed Nana as "Bongo," he still had "Nana" swing tags in stock. During the period Ty was waiting for the "Bongo" swing tags to arrive, he placed "Bongo" stickers over Nana's name inside the swing tags.
