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
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 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
