Ubangi Stomp
(Charles Underwood)
John Prine
Intro:
[E]
W[E]ell, I rocked over Italy
And I rocked over Spain
I Rocked in Memphis it was all the same
Till I Ro[A]cked to Africa and rolled off ship.
And s[E]een them natives doing a odd looking skip
I pa[B7]rted the weeds and looked over the swamp
I se[E]en them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp
Ub[A]angi stomp with rock and roll
Be[E]ats anything that's ever been told
Ub[B7]angi Stomp Ubangi Style
When the b[E]eat just drives a cool cat wild
Instrumental:
[E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
We[E]ll, I looked up the chief and he invited me in
Said a heap big jam session 'bout to begin
He ha[A]nded me a tom-tom I picked up the beat
That cr[E]azy thing sent shivers to my feet
Ro[B7]cked and rolled and I skipped with a smile
Ub[E]angi Stomp Ubangi Style
Uba[A]ngi stomp with rock and roll
Be[E]ats anything that's ever been told
Ub[B7]angi Stomp Ubangi Style
When the b[E]eat just drives a cool cat wild
Instrumental:
[E] [A] [E] [B7] [E]
W[E]ell, we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rocking time with the chief's daughter Mae
I was ma[A]king time and gettin' in the know
The c[E]aptain said son we gotta go.
I said t[B7]hat's alright. You go on ahead
I'm gonna Ub[E]angi Stomp until I roll over dead
Ub[A]angi stomp with rock and roll
B[E]eats anything that you ever told
Ub[B7]angi Stomp Ubangi Style
W[E]hen 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
Instrumental Ending:
[E]
