Ubangi Stomp |
| Well I rocked over Italy, I rocked over Spain |
| I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same |
| 'Til I rocked to Africa and rolled off ship |
| And seen them natives doing a crazy looking skip |
| I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp |
| I seen them cats doing the Ubangi stomp |
| Ubangi stomp with rock and roll |
| Beats anything that’s ever been told |
| Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style |
| When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild |
| I looked up the chief and he invited me in |
| He said, heap big jam session 'bout to begin |
| He handed me a tom-tom, I picked up the beat |
| That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet |
| Rocked and rolled and I skipped with a smile |
| Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style |
| Ubangi stomp with rock and roll |
| Beats anything that’s ever been told |
| Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style |
| When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild |
| Well we rocked all night and part of the day |
| Had a good rockin' time with the chief’s daughter Mae |
| I was making time and gettin' in the know |
| When the captain said son we gotta go |
| I said that’s alright, you go right ahead |
| I’m gonna Ubangi stomp until I roll over dead |
| Ubangi stomp with rock and roll |
| Beats anything that you ever told |
| Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style |
| When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild |
