John Prine - Ubangi Stomp

Текст песни

Well I rocked over Italy, I rocked over Spain
I rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
'Til I rocked to Africa and rolled off ship
And seen them natives doing a crazy 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 it hits, it drives a cool cat wild
I looked up the chief and he invited me in
He said, 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 it hits, it drives a cool cat wild
Well we rocked all night and part of the day
Had a good rockin' time with the chief’s daughter Mae
I was making time and gettin' in the know
When the captain said son we gotta go
I said that’s alright, you go right 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 it hits, it drives a cool cat wild
