Lyrics

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 knocking
So scared he was stiff
Till he noticed the tribe was rocking
As his knees beat out this mellow riff
Mop mop
From the tropics 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 knocking
So scared he was stiff
Till he noticed the tribe was rocking
As his knees beat out this mellow riff
Mop mop
From the tropics heat
Mop mop
Came this jungle beat
Though old Joe is gone
His jive lives on
And it still is making history
