Lyrics: It was a Zombie Jamboree Took place in a New York cemetery It was a Zombie Jamboree Took place in a New York cemetery Zombies from all parts of the Island Some of them was a great Calypsonians Although the season was Carnival We get together in bacchanal And they singing Back to back, belly to belly I dont give a damn, I done dead already Oho back to back, belly to belly At the Zombie Jamboree One female Zombie wouldnt behave See how she jumping out of the grave In one hand a quart of rum In the other hand she knocking conga drum The lead singer start to make his rhyme The Zombies are racking their bones in time One bystander had this to say T was a pleasure to see the Zombies break away Back to back, belly to belly I dont give a damn, I done dead already Oho back to back, belly to belly At the Zombie Jamboree I goin talk to Miss Brigit Bardot And tell her miss Bardot take it slow All the men think they're Casanova When they see that shes barefoot all over Even old men out in Topeka Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker So I goin to ask her for your sake and mine At least to wear her earrings part of the time Back to back, belly to belly I dont give a damn, I done dead already Oho back to back, belly to belly At the Zombie Jamboree A lot of World leaders talkin bout war And Im afraid they're going too far So its up to us you and me To put an end to Catastrophe We must appeal to their goodness of heart And ask them to pitch in and please do their part Cause if this Atomic war begin They wont even have a pot to pitch in Back to back, belly to belly I dont give a damn, I done dead already Oho back to back, belly to belly At the Zombie Jamboree |
