Ubangi Stomp

Well, I rocked over Italy and rocked over Spain

Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same

'Til I rocked through Africa and rolled off the ship

I seen them natives doin' a hot-a-lookin' skip

I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp

I seen them cats a-doin' the Ubangi stomp

Ubangi stomp with rock and roll

Beats anything that's ever been told

Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style

When it hits, it's gonna drive a cool cat wild

Well, I looked up the chief, he invited me in

He said, a hey big jam session's 'bout to begin

Well, he handed me a tom-tom, I picked up that beat

That crazy thing sent the shivers to my feet

I rocked, and I rolled, and I skipped with a smile

Done the Ubangi stomp till I rolled over dead

Well, we rocked all night and part of the day

Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter, May

I was makin' a-time and gettin' to know

Then the captain said, "now, son, a-we gotta go"

I said, "a-that's alright, you go right ahead

I'll do the Ubangi stomp until I roll over dead"
