Lyrics
It was a zombie jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
It was a zombie jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the Island
Some of them was a great Calypsonians
Although the season was carnival
A get together in bacchanal
And they singing
Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
I hear ya talkin'
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
One female zombie wouldn't behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quarter rum
The other hand she knocking Congo drum
The lead singer start to make his rhyme
The zombies are racking their bones in thyme
One bystander had this to say
"It was a pleasure to see the Zombies break away"
And they're singing
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree, oh
I goin' talk to Miss Brigit Bardot
And tell her "Miss Bardot take it slow"
All the men think they're casanova
When they see that she's barefoot all over
Even old men out into beaker
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin' to ask her for your sake and mine
At least to wear her earrings part at the time
And I'm singing
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree, oh
A lot of world leaders talkin' 'bout war
And I'm afraid they're going too far
So it's up to us, you and me
To put an end to catastrophe
We must appeal to their goodness of heart
And ask them to pitch in and please do their part
'Cause if this atomic war begin
They won't even have a part to pitch in
And we'll be singing
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
I hear ya talkin'
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-oh, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie, zombie jamboree
