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
