Chorus:
Well, now, back to back, belly to belly, well, i don't give a
Damn 'cause i done that already, back to back
Belly to belly at the zombie jamboree.(repeat) (now hear the
Chorus) (you can feel that) (oh, what a good game)(you're all
Alone, you know)
Zombie jamboree took place in a new york cemetery (where?)
Zombie jamboree took place in long island cemetery.
Zombies from all parts of the island. (where?) some of them are
Great calypsonians. (some.)
Since the season was carnival they got together in bacchanal.
Oh, what ya' doin'?
(chorus)
One female zombie wouldn't behave. she say she want me for a
Slave.
In the one hand she's holding a quart of wine, in the other
She's pointing that she'll be mine.
Well, believe me folks, i had to run. (why?) a husband of a
Zombie ain't no fun! (don't knock it!)
I says, "oh, no, my turtle dove, that old bag of bones i
Cannot love." oh, what you doin'?
(chorus)
Right then and there she raise her feet. "i'm a-going to
Catch you now, my sweet.
I'm gonna make you call me 'sweetie pie'." i says "oh,
No, get back, you lie!"
"i may be lyin' but you will see (what?) after you kiss
This dead zombie." (blah!)
Well, i never seen such a horror in my life. can you imagine me
With a zombie wife? (yes!)
(chorus)
