A
Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
A
I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
A      D
Till I rocked to Africa - rolled off the ship
A
Seen them natives do a hard looking skip
E
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp
E        A
And I've seen them cats doing the Ubangi stomp

[Chorus]
D
Ubangi stomp - reggae roll
A
Beats any stomp that you've ever been told
E
Ubangi stomp - Ubangi style
E       A
When it hits it drives them Ubangis wild

[Verse 2]
A
Well, I looked the chief, he invited me in
A
He said "hey big jam session bound to begin"
A  D
He handled me a tomtom, I picked up the beat
A
That crazy thing shivered down to my feet
E
I rocked and rolled I skipped with a smile
E             A
I've done the Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style

[Verse 3]
A
Well, I rocked all night and part of the day
A
Had a good rocking time with the chiefs daughter May
A   D
Was making good time and she give me the no
A
When the captain says "son, we've got to go"
E
I said "that's alright man, you go right ahead
E         A
I'm gonna Ubangi stomp till roll over dead"
