Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
I rocked in memphis
It was all the same
Till 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
Beats anything that's ever been told
Ubangi stomp
Ubangi style
When it kick 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
He 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 ubangi style
Well we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time
With the chief's daughter mae
I was makin' good time and I get in the
Know when
Captain said son we gotta go
I said that's all right
You go right ahead
I'm gonna ubangi stomp till I roll over dead
