Miscellaneous
Zombie Jamboree
NB this is transcribed from the Rockapella version, not the
Kingston Trio

Bass: Back to back
Ha ha ha ha
Belly to belly
Yes, my friends!
Back to back
Ha ha ha ha
Belly to belly
Say Huh!

Tenor: It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in the New York cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the island
Some of them were great Calypsonians
Since the season was Carnivale
They got together in Bacchanal
Huh!

And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree

One female zombie
She wouldn't behave
See how she's dancing out of the grave
In one hand she's holding a quart of rum
The other hand was knocking a conga drum

You know the lead singer starts to make his
rhyme
While the other zombies 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
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree

And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree

Back to back
Everyone, we sing!
Back to back
And belly to belly
Then back to back
A-One Two Three Four!
Hey hey hey hey hey

What a Zombie Jamboree
From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty
Uptown, Downtown, Zombie Jamboree
Oo woh oo woh woh yeah yeah

There's a high wire zom between the World
Trades
A King Kong zombie on the Empire State
But the biggest zombies Tokyo to Rome
The zombies who call this city home!
Hah! What they do! Huh!

Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree

And they were singing
Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
We do the Limbo!

Back to back
Belly to belly
Well, I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm stone dead already
Back to back
Belly to belly
It's a Zombie Jamboree
Hey hey hey hey!
