As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1958 Album JERRY LEE LEWIS) [Intro] G C G [Verse 1]

G7
Well I rocked over Italy and rocked in Spain

G7
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same

        C7
Well, I rocked through Africa and roll of the ship

    G N.C.
And seen them natives doin' a hot-lookin' skip

  D7                          C7
I parted the weeds and looked over the swamp

  G7 N.C.
I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi stomp

[Chorus]

C7
Ubangi-stomp with rock and roll

G7
Beats anything that's ever been told

D7             C7
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style

        G N.C.
When it hits, it's gonna drive a cool cat wild

[Piano Solo] G7 C7 G7 D7 C7 G7 [Verse 2]

G7
Well I looked up the chief, he invited me in

N.C. He said, a hey big jam session's 'bout to begin

C7
He handed me a tom-tom, I picked up that beat

     G N.C.
That crazy thing sent shivers to my feet

  D7                        C7
I rocked and I rolled and I skipped with a smile

        G N.C.
Done the Ubangi stomp till I rolled over dead

[Piano Solo] G7 C7 G7 D7 C7 G7 [Verse 3]

G7
Well we rocked all night and part of the day

G7
Had a good rockin' time with the chief's daughter May

      C7
I was makin' a time and a-gettin' to know

         G N.C.
Then the captain said, son, we gotta go

       D7                  C7
I said that's alright, you go right ahead

            G N.C.                           G7
I'll do the Ubangi stomp 'till I roll over dead
