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.
