Ubangi Stomp

Well, I Rocked Over Italy and I Rocked Over Spain.

I Rocked in Memphis;

It Was All the Same

Til I Rocked to Africa.

I Rolled Off the Ship.

I Seem Them Natives Doin' An Odd Looking Skip.

I Parted the Weeds

And I Looked Over the Swamp,

And I Seen Them Cats Doin' the Ubangi Stomp.

Ubangi Stomp Is a Rock and Roll.

It Beats Anything That's Ever Been Told.

Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi Style

When It Kicks,

It Drives a Cool Cat Wild.

Well I Looked Up the Chief;

He Invited Me In.

He Said, "A Heap Big Jam Session's 'bout to Begin."

I Grabbed Up a Tom and I Picked Up the Beat.

That Crazy Thing Sent

Shivers to My Feet.

I Rocked and I Rolled

And I Skipped With a Smile.

I Did the Ubangi Stomp With a Ubangi Style.

Well, We Rocked All Night and Part of the Day.

Had a Good, Rock-in' Time

With the Chief's Daughter Mae.

I'm Makin' Good Time and I'm Gettin' in the Know

When the Captain Said, "Son, We've Gotta Go."

I Said, "That's All Right.

You Go Right Ahead.

I'm Gonna Ubangi Stomp Til I Roll Over Dead."

Ubangi Stomp Is a Rock and Roll.

It Beats Anything That's Ever Been Told.

Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi Style

When It Kicks,

It Drives a Cool Cat Wild.

Ubangi Stomp, Thank You.
