The Kingston Trio — Zombie Jamboree Hungry i version

[Intro] 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, uh, musically In order to find out who is 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 Uh, based on a theme by Goethe involving the Dance of the Dead Well, uh, Invader could only draw from experience so he called it Of course, "Zombie Jamboree", the song that killed calypso ¿Por qué no? [Chorus] Well, now, back to back, belly to belly Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I done dead already Back to back, belly to belly At the zombie jamboree (Now, he did call us) Back to back, belly to belly Well, I don't give a damn 'cause I done dead already Back to back, belly to belly At the zombie jamboree (Yes) [Verse 1] 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 (Some) Since the season was carnival They got together in bacchanal (What ya' doin'?)
