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.
