Ubangi Stomp

Well, I rocked over Italy and rocked over Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
'Til I rocked through Africa and rolled off the ship
I seen them natives doin' a hot-a-lookin' skip
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
I seen them cats a-doin' the Ubangi stomp

Ubangi stomp with rock and roll
Beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style
When it hits, it's gonna drive a cool cat wild

Well, I looked up the chief, he invited me in
He said, a hey big jam session's 'bout to begin
Well, he handed me a tom-tom, I picked up that beat
That crazy thing sent the shivers to my feet
I rocked, and I rolled, and I skipped with a smile
Done the Ubangi stomp till I rolled over dead

Well, we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter, May
I was makin' a-time and gettin' to know
Then the captain said, "now, son, a-we gotta go"
I said, "a-that's alright, you go right ahead
I'll do the Ubangi stomp until I roll over dead"
