I Just Saw Jimmy Stewart In Person

[Jara sang]

Zombie Jimmy Stewart, but Jimmy Stewart none the less. Oh, and not Zombie Jimmy Stewart from It's A Wonderful Life Zombie Jimmy Stewart from down the street. The guy who had all those junked cars in his front yard? Yeah, him. He disappeared about two years ago and everyone thought his wife did him in, well apparently... well, you know... he was married to that Haitian gal and he did always have kind of a temper. His wife has from the Western most tip of Haiti, real near Cuba.

They practice voodoo and Santeria there, also known as Lukumi. Anyway, I think the place was called, Dame Marie. She just hauled off and smacked him up side the head with a shovel one day. Buried him out back. Then she needed help moving a large planter out on their deck so she zombified him. Well, you know the old saying, "Sometimes, dead is better." True dat. Sometimes dead is better. Ole Jimmy started coming around his old haunts and stuff and people started noticing a mighty powerful stench, well it didn't take long before people noticed ole Jimmy was a walking corpse. People tried to do things like collect their bar tabs from him and shit, but ole Jimmy would have none of that, He would say, "What the heck do you want from me? I'm fusking dead!" then he would limp off into the darkness. Drunk. Rotting Corpse. That was his thing too, he never did use swear words, he would say "fusk" instead of "fuck" and such. Well yeah, I saw Ole' Zombie Jimmy Stewart, but not the movie actor Jimmy Stewart. Yeah saw him right before his zombified corpse got run over by a truck, no worries though, he's always getting hit by trucks. That Jimmy!

ZOMBIE JAMBOREE
(Conrad Eugene Mauge Jr.)

The Kingston Trio

Also recorded by :
Harry Belafonte; Fannigan's Isle; Leftover Salmon; Rockapella.


SPOKEN: Right now, as a point of information, something we didn't
know until recently. Every year, in Trinidad, they have what is
know as a "calypsonian carnival" in which the various native
groups down there vie with one another, uh, musically, in order
to find out who's the best extemporaneous composer of them all.
And in the year 1955, Lord Invader and his Twelve Penetrators
took the title with this next song, 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."

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

Now hear me callin'
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

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
Hey, since the season was Carnivale
They got together in Bacchanal

Whatcha doin'?
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

(Unintelligible spoken aside)
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

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 (Whoa)
In the other she's pointin' that she'll be mine
Now believe me folks, yes I had to run (Why?)
Husband of a zombie ain't no fun (No nice!)
I says "Oh, no my turtle dove"
"That old bag of bones I cannot love"

Whatcha doin'?
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

What a good game!
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

Right then and there she raise a *feet*
"I'm a-going to get 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 zomb-ie (Blecccch!!!)
No, I've never seen such a horror in me life
Can you imagine me with a zombie wife? (YES!)

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

SPOKEN: You're all alone, you know.

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

Zombie Jamboree lyrics

It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery
It was a Zombie Jamboree
Took place in a New York cemetery

Zombies from all parts of the Island
Some of them was a great Calypsonians
Although the season was Carnival
We get together in bacchanal
And they singing

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

One female Zombie wouldn’t behave
See how she jumping out of the grave
In one hand a quart uh rum
In the other hand she knocking Congo drum
Believe singer start to make his rhyme
The Zombies are racking their bones in time
One bystander had this to say
T'was a pleasure to see the Zombies break away

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

I goin’ talk to Miss Brigit Bardot
And tell her Miss Bardot take it slow
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she’s bare foot all ovah
Even old men out into beaker
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So I goin’ to ask her for your sake and mine
At least to wear her ear-rings part at the time

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree

A lot of World leaders talkin’ ‘bout war
And I’m afraid they're going too far
So it’s up to us you and me
To put an end to Catastrophe
We must appeal to their goodness of heart
And ask them to breech in and please do their part
Cause if this Atomic war begin
They won’t even have a part to breech in

Back to back, belly to belly
I don’t give a damn, I done dead already
Oho back to back, belly to belly
At the Zombie Jamboree
