Right now as a point of information
Something we didn't know until recently
Every year in Trinidad
They have what is known as a Calypsonian carnival
In which the various native groups down there
Vie with one another musically
In order to find out who's the best
Extemporaneous composer of them all
Yes, and in the year 1955
Lord Invader and his twelve penetrators took the title
With this next song
Based on a theme by Goethe involving the Dance of the Dead
Well, Invader could only draw from experience
So he called it of course "Zombie Jamboree"
The song that killed calypso
Wait now
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done that already
Back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
Now he recalled us
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done that already
Back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
Zombie Jamboree took place in a New York cemetery (Where?)
Zombie Jamboree took place in Long Island cemetery
Zombies from all parts of the island (Where?)
Some of them are great Calypsonian (Zombies)
Since the season was Carnivale
They got together in Bacchanale
What you doin'?
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done that already
Back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
Feel that
Back to back, belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I've done that already
Back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
One female zombie wouldn't behave
She say she want me for slave
In the one hand she's holding a quart of wine
In the other she's pointing that she'll be mine
Well, believe me folks, yes I had to run (Why?)
The husband of a zombie ain't no fun (No, not yet)
