Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
I rocked in Memphis it was all the same
Well I rocked through Africa and rolled off the ship
And seen them natives doin' an odd lookin' skip
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
And I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi Stomp
Ubangi Stomp with the rock and roll
Beats any thing that you've ever been told
The Ubangi Stomp Ubangi style
When it hits it drives a cool cat wild
Well I looked up the chief he invited me in
He said a heep big jam session's 'bout to begin
He handed me a tom tom I picked up that beat
That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile
I done the Ubangi Stomp Ubangi style
Well we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May
I was makin' the time and a gettin' in the know
The captain said son, we gotta go
I said that's alright you go right ahead
I'm gonna Ubangi Stomp 'till I roll over dead
