Mop mop

A thousand years ago

Mop mop

A guy named Jungle Joe

Was a drummer man

In a Zulu band

That made swing history

Mop mop

One day the king said Gate

Why gate you old reprobate

I commission you find a riff that's new

Or your wig belongs to me

Joe's knees started knockin'

So scared he was stiff

'Til he noticed the tribe was rockin'

As his knees beat out this mellow riff

Mop mop

From the tropic's heat

Mop mop

Came this jungle beat

Though old Joe is gone

His Jive lives on

And it still is making history

Joe's knees started knockin'

So scared he was stiff

'Til he noticed the tribe was rockin'

As his knees beat out this mellow riff

Mop mop

From the tropic's heat

Mop mop

Came this jungle beat

Though Old Joe is gone his Jive lives on

And it still is making history
