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"
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same

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
