[Verse 1]

Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain

I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same

Well, I rocked through Africa and rolled of the ship

And seen them natives doin' an odd lookin' skip

I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp

Seen them cats doin' the Ubangi-stomp

Ubangi-stomp with the rock and roll

Beats anything that you've ever been told

Ubangi-stomp, Ubangi-style

When it hits, it drives a cool cat wild

[Verse 2]

Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in

He said, a heap 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

I done the Ubangi-stomp, Ubangi-style

[Verse 3]

Well we rocked all night and part of the day

Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May

I was makin' good time and a-gettin' to know

Then the captain said son, we gotta go

I said that's alright, you go right ahead

I'm gonna Ubangi-stomp 'till I roll over dead
