Ubangi Stomp

Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain

I rocked in Memphis it was all the same

till I rocked to Africa

I rolled off the ship

I seem them natives doing an odd looking skip

I parted the weeds and I looked over the swamp

and I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi Stomp

Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll

It beats anything that's ever been told

Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style

when it kicks it drives a cool cat wild

Well I looked up the chief he invited me in

He said, "A heap big jam session's 'bout to begin"

I grabbed up a tom and I picked up the beat

That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet

I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile

I did the Ubangi Stomp with a Ubangi style

Well, we rocked all night and part of the day

Had a good, rock-in' time

with the chief's daughter Mae

I'm making good time and I'm getting in the know

when the captain said, "Son, we've gotta go"

I said, "That's all right

You go right ahead

I'm gonna Ubangi Stomp till I roll over dead"

Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll

It beats anything that's ever been told

Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style

when it kicks it drives a cool cat wild

Ubangi Stomp, thank you!
