Zombie Jamboree (Back to Back)

Conrad Eugene Mauge Jr.

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're singing

Back to back, belly to belly
I don't give a damn, I done dead already
Oh-ho, back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
I hear you talking
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-ho, back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

One female zombie wouldn't behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quarter rum
The other hand, she knocking conga drum
The lead singer start to make his rhyme
The zombies are rattling their bones in time
One bystander had this to say
"Was a pleasure to see the zombie break away"
And they're singing

Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-ho, back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

I goin' talk to Brigitte Bardot
I tell her, "Miss Bardot, take it slow"
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she's bare foot all over
Even old men out into Topeka
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin' ask her for your sake and mine
At least wear her earrings part at the time
And I'm singing

Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-ho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

A lot of world leaders talkin' 'bout war
And I'm afraid they're going too far
So it's 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 won't even have a part to pitch in
And we'll be singing

Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-ho, back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
I hear you talking
Back to back, belly to belly
Don't give a damn, done dead already
Oh-ho, back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie, Zombie Jamboree
