Well I rocked over Italy and rocked in Spain Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same Well, I rocked through Africa and roll of the ship And seen them natives doin' a hot-lookin' skip I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi stomp
Ubangi-stomp with rock and roll Beats anything that's ever been told Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style When it hits, it's gonna drive a cool cat wild
Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in He said, a hey big jam session's 'bout to begin He handed me a tom-tom, I picked up that beat That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile Done the Ubangi stomp till I rolled over dead
Well we rocked all night and part of the day Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May I was makin' a time and a-gettin' to know Then the captain said, son, we gotta go I said that's alright, you go right ahead I'll do the Ubangi stomp 'till I roll over dead
