Zombie Jamboree
Calypso Classic
A
It was a zombie jamboree
E A
Took place in the New York cemetery
Oh, it was a zombie jamboree
E A
Took place in the New York cemetery.
D A
Zombies from all parts of the island
E A
Some of them are great Calypsonians
D A
Since the season was carnival
E A
They got together in bacchanal
And they were singing (Chorus)
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn for I done 'dat already
So, back to back, belly to belly
At the zombie jamboree
One female zombie she wouldn't behave
See how's she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand is knocking a conga drum.
You know the lead singer starts to make his rhyme
While the other zombie is rockin' in time
One bystander, he had this to say:
"It was a trip to see the zombies break away."
SHAH! And they were singing:
(Repeat chorus twice)
A
Back to back! Everyone we sing back to back
And belly to belly then back to back
E
One two three four Hey (Chorus)
What a zombie jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, downtown zombie jamboree
Whoa whoa whoa, yeah yeah
There's a high-wire zombie 'tween the World Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call the city home.
(Hah! What they do! Huh!)
(Repeat chorus to fade)
VERSION 2
Zombie Jamboree
It was a zombie jamboree that took place in a New York cemetery (x2)
Zombies from all parts of the island some of them were real calypsonians
Though the season was carnival so they get together in Bacanal
Chorus
One female Zombie wouldn't behave, see how she jumpin' out of dee grave
In one hand a quart-a-rum, the other hand she knockin' congo drum
The lead singer start to make his rhyme, the zombie's all rackin' their bones
in time
One bystander had this to say, it was a pleasure to see the zombies break
away
Chorus
(Break)
I go an' talk to Bidgette Bardo I tell her Ms. Bardo take it slow
All dee men t'ink dey'r Casinova when dey see dat she's barefoot all over
Even poor men out in Topeeka find dey'r hearts gettin' weaker an' weaker
So I go ask an old friend a' mine please wear our ear rings part-a-dee-time
Chorus
(Break)
Alot-a-world leaders talkin' 'bout war, an I'm afraid dat dey'r goin' too
far
So, it's up to us you an' me to put an end to catastrophy
We must apeal to the goodness of heart an' ask 'em to pitch in an' please
do their part
"Cause if dis' atomic war begin, dey won't even have a part to pitch
in
Chorus (x2)
