Ubangi Stomp Lyrics by John Prine

Ubangi Stomp Lyrics

    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
