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 thats 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 sessions 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 chiefs daughter Mae.
Im makin good time and Im gettin in the know
When the captain said, "Son, weve gotta go"
I said, "Thats all right.
You go right ahead.
Im gonna Ubangi Stomp till I roll over dead."

Ubangi Stomp is a rock and roll.
It beats anything thats ever been told.
Ubangi Stomp, Ubangi style;
when it kicks,
it drives a cool cat wild.
Ubangi Stomp, thank you.
