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 rockin' 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
till 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
