Lyrics

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
