Ubangi

She's the topic of the tropics on the Ivory Coast

A lulu of the Zulu and they love her the most

A true Ubangi maid instead of saying "How do?"

She says, "Ubangi, me bangi too"

Her mama and her papa they are worried no end

They feel their daughter hadn't oughta make both strangers and friends

Afraid that the fellas might misconstrue

When she says, "Ubangi, me bangi too"

They beat their tom-toms

Every time she shakes her fancy hips

They beat their tom-toms

And they keep a very stiff

Lower lip

The chassis of the lassie is in very good taste

The lines are very fine and not a thing's gone to waste

They figure right away that it means "unga bunga boo"

When she says, "You? Me too"

She's givin' conga lessons back in her bamboo hut

The price is very nice, it's only two coconuts

But conga lessons quickly go askew

When she says, "Ubangi, me bangi too"

They beat their tom-toms

And they make a lot of noise

They beat their tom-toms

After all, boys will be boys

The missionaries tried of late to straighten her out

But Lulu says it's way too late and it's true no doubt

'Cause after all, what can the fellas do?

When she says, "You? Me too"

To Saxon monoraccents on the wrong syllable

Down under it's a blunder causes lots of trouble

But in any country it's a hell of a cue

When she says, "Ubangi, me bangi too"

They beat their tom-toms

Every time she shakes her fancy hips

They beat their tom-toms

And they keep a very stiff

Lower lip

The chieftain of the tribe wanted to make her his bride

But Lulu said "No, no, he's got one wife on his side"

But chief said, "Do not worry, tonight she's barbecue

Then you da hurt me, da hurt too"

The latest word that's been heard from that tropical land

Is that riot after riot has things way out of hand

The chief just found out that Lulu will not woo-hoo

When she says, "Ubangi, me bangi"

That is just her native slangy

All she means is "How do you do?"

Ooh, ha
