Chorus:

Back to back, belly to belly

I don't give a darn

'Cause I done that already

Back to back, belly to belly

At the Zombie Jamboree

De Zombie Jamboree

Took place in a New York cemetery

De Zombie Jamboree

Took place in Long Island cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the Island

Some-a dem are great Calypsonian

Since the season was Carnival

They got together in Bacchanale

And they singin'

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(I don't give a darn)

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

I hear de chorus

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(I don't give a darn)

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

One female Zombie won't behave

She say she want me for a slave

In one hand she holdin' a-quart a-wine

De udda hand she pourin

That she'll be mine

Believe me folks, yes I had to run

De husband of a zombie ain't no fun

I say, 'Oh no, my turtle dove

An old bag of bones I cannot love'

And what she cryin

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(I don't give a darn)

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

I hear de chorus

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(I don't give a darn 'get her back'

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

Right then and there

She raise her feet

I'm going to get you now, my sweet (get back)

I'll make you call me, sweetie pie

I said, 'Not me, get back, you lie' (get back)

She said I might be lyin'

But you will see

After you kiss this dead zombie

I never seen such horror in all my life

Can you imagine me wit a zombie wife?

And what she singin'

(Back to back, belly to belly) hey-hey

(I don't give a darn)

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

(here it come) I hear de chorus

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(And I don't give a darn)

('Cause I done that already)

(Back to back, belly to belly)

(At the Zombie Jamboree)

(instrumental to end)

(Oh, play nice)

<Gimme a two>

<let two do>

(roll the one)
