Mop-Mop (03-15-44) |
Mop mop! |
A thousand years ago |
Mop mop! |
A guy named Jungle Joe |
Was a drummer man in a Zulu band |
That made swing history |
Mop mop! |
One day the king said «Gate! |
Why Gate, you old reprobate |
I commission you, find a riff that’s new |
Or your wig belongs to me.» |
Joe’s knees started knockin' |
So scared he was stiff |
'Til he noticed the tribe was rockin' |
As his knees beat out this mellow riff |
Mop mop! |
From the tropic’s heat |
Mop mop! |
Came this jungle beat |
Though old Joe is gone, his jive lives on |
And it still is making history |
Joe’s knees started knockin' |
So scared he was stiff |
'Til he noticed the tribe was rockin' |
As his knees beat out this mellow riff |
Mop mop! |
From the tropic’s heat |
Mop mop! |
Came this jungle beat |
Though old Joe is gone, his jive lives on |
And it still is making history |
