Well, now
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
Now hear me callin'
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
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
Hey, since the season was carnivale
They got together in bacchanal
Whatcha doin'?
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
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 (whoa)
In the other she's pointin' that she'll be mine
Now believe me folks, yes I had to run (why?)
Husband of a zombie ain't no fun (no nice!)
I says "oh, no my turtle dove"
"That old bag of bones I cannot love"
Whatcha doin'?
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
What a good game!
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
Right then and there she raise a *feet*
"I'm a-going to get 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 zomb-ie (blecccch!!!)
No, I've never seen such a horror in me life
Can you imagine me with a zombie wife? (yes!)
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
You're all alone, you know.
Back to back, belly to belly
Well I don't give a damn
'Cause it doesn't matter really
Back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
