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.
