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
