| 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 |
