Ubangi Stomp
(C. Underwood)
Verse 1:
Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same
'Till I rocked to Africa and rolled off the ship,
Seen them natives do an odd looking skip
Parted the weeds and looked over the swamp,
And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp
Chorus:
Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them cool cats wild
Verse 2:
Well I looked up the chief he invited me in,
He said, "Big heap jam session's about to begin!" That's right!
He handed me a tom tom, I picked up the beat,
That crazy thing send shivers to my feet
I rocked and I rolled, skipped with a smile,
Gonna Ubangi stomp man, Ubangi style
Chorus:
Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them cool cats wild.

Mona Lisa
(R. Evans and J. Livingston)

Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
They just lie there and they die there
Are you warm, are you real, Mona Lisa?
Or just a cold and lonely lovely work of art?

Trying to Get to You
(R.M. McCoy, C. Singleton)

Then my heart began to sing
There were many miles between us,

Or that could keep me away from you
When your loving letter told me

I'd still run all the way,
Baby, trying to get to you.
