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.
