Am
Well I rocked over Italy

And I rocked over Spain

Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
Dm
'Til I rocked to Africa

And rolled off the ship
Am
Seen them natives do an odd looking skip
E
Parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
Am
And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp

Dm
Ubangi stomp, rock and roll
Am
Beats any stomp that you ever been told
E
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style
Am
When it hits it drives them Ubangis wild

Am
Well I looked up the chief he invited me in

He said, "Hey big jam session's

About to begin"
Dm
He handed me a tom tom, I picked up the beat
Am
That crazy thing send shivers to my feet
E
I rocked and I rolled, skipped with a smile
Am
Gonna Ubangi stomp man, Ubangi style

Dm
Ubangi stomp, rock and roll
Am
Beats any stomp that you ever been told
E
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style
Am
When it hits it drives them Ubangis wild

Am
Well I rocked all night and part of the day

Had a good rockin' time

With the chief's daugher May
Dm
We were making good time and gettin' to know
Am
When the Captain said, "Sorry we gotta go."
E
Well, well that's all right man now

Go right ahead
Am
Gonna Ubangi stomp 'till I roll over dead

Dm
Ubangi stomp, rock and roll
Am
Beats any stomp that you ever been told
E
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style
Am
When it hits it drives them Ubangis wild
