Lyrics
Well, I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain.
Rocked over Italy and Spain, experiencing the same rock in Memphis.
I rocked in Memphis;
Continued rocking in Memphis.
It was all the same
Emphasizing the similarity of the rocking experience in different places.
Til I rocked to Africa.
Changed the rocking location to Africa, arriving by ship.
I rolled off the ship.
Observing native people performing a unique dance upon arrival.
I seem them natives doin' an odd looking skip.
Describing the native dance as an odd-looking skip.
I parted the weeds
Cleared the path and observed the dance by the swamp.
And I looked over the swamp,
Overlooking the swamp area.
And I seen them cats doin' the Ubangi Stomp.
Witnessing the locals performing the Ubangi Stomp dance.

Well I looked up the chief;
Meeting the chief and receiving an invitation.
He invited me in.
The chief announces a big jam session.
He said, "A heap big jam session's 'bout to begin."
Getting ready for the jam session.
I grabbed up a tom and I picked up the beat.
Participating by playing a drum (tom) and setting the beat.

The impact of the music sending shivers to the narrator's feet.
Shivers to my feet.
Expressing the intense and thrilling experience.

Continuing to rock and roll with joy.

Rocking all night and part of the day with the chief's daughter.

Having a great rocking time with a reference to the chief's daughter Mae.
With the chief's daughter Mae.
Progressing in knowledge and experience.

Receiving notice to leave from the captain.

Expressing satisfaction with the current situation.

Accepting the departure notice.
You go right ahead.
Encouraging the captain to proceed with the departure.
