Mop-Mop Songtext

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 knocking
So scared he was stiff
Till he noticed the tribe was rocking
As his knees beat out this mellow riff

Mop mop
From the tropics 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 knocking
So scared he was stiff
Till he noticed the tribe was rocking
As his knees beat out this mellow riff

Mop mop
From the tropics heat
Mop mop
Came this jungle beat


Though old Joe is gone
His jive lives on
And it still is making history
