Mop! Mop! |
| 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 |
