Ubangi Stomp lyrics

Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
I rocked in Memphis it was all the same
till I rocked to Africa
I rolled off the ship
I seem them natives doing 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 making good time and I m getting 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 till 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!
