Zombie Jamboree Lyrics - Kingston Trio

Conrad Eugene Mauge, Jr. 

Chorus: 

Well, now, back to back, belly to belly, well, I don't give a damn 'cause it doesn't matter really, back to back 

Belly to belly at the zombie jamboree.(Repeat) (Now hear the chorus) (You can feel that) (Oh, what a good game)(You're all alone, you know) 

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 calypsonians. (Some.) 

Since the season was carnival they got together in bacchanal. Oh, what ya' doin'? 

(Chorus) 

One female zombie wouldn't behave. She say she want me for a slave. 

In the one hand she's holding a quart of wine, in the other she's pointing that she'll be mine. 

Well, believe me folks, I had to run. (Why?) A husband of a zombie ain't no fun! (Don't knock it!) 

I says, "Oh, no, my turtle dove, that old bag of bones I cannot love." Oh, what you doin'? 

(Chorus) 

Right then and there she raise her feet. "I'm a-going to catch you now, my sweet. 

I'm gonna make you call me 'Sweetie Pie'." I says "Oh, no, get back, you lie!" 

"I may be lyin' but you will see (What?) After you kiss this dead zombie." (Blah!) 

Well, I never seen such a horror in my life. Can you imagine me with a zombie wife? (Yes!) 

(Chorus)
