Well, I rocked over italy and I rocked over spain   I rocked in memphis it was all the same   Till I rocked to africa and rolled off ship.   And seen them natives doing a odd looking skip   I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp   I seen them cats doing the ubangi stomp      Ubangi stomp with rock and roll   Beats anything that's ever been told   Ubangi stomp ubangi style   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild      Well, I looked up the chief and he invited me in   Said a heap big jam session 'bout to begin   He handed me a tom-tom I picked up the beat   That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet   Rocked and rolled and I skipped with a smile   Ubangi stomp ubangi style      Ubangi stomp with rock and roll   Beats anything that's ever been told   Ubangi stomp ubangi style   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild      Well, we rocked all night and part of the day   Had a good rocking time with the chief's daughter mae   I was making time and gettin' in the know   The captain said son we gotta go.   I said that's alright. you go on ahead   I'm gonna ubangi stomp until I roll over dead      Ubangi stomp with rock and roll   Beats anything that you ever told   Ubangi stomp ubangi style   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild   When the beat just drives a cool cat wild
