[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
It [G]was
a Zombie [D]Jambor[G]ee
Took place in a New York [D]cemetery[G]
It was a Zombie Jam[C]bor[G]ee
Took place in [D]a N[C]ew Y[D]ork
[G]cemetery

[Verse 2]
Zombies from [C]all parts of the island
[G]Some of them was[D] a great
[G]Calypsonians
Although [C]the season was Car[G]nival
We get [D]to gether in bac[G]chanal
And they're singing
[C]Back to back,

[Verse 3]
[G]belly to belly
[D]I don't give a damn,
[G]I done dead already
[C]Oh-ho, back back to [G]back, belly to belly
At [D]the Zombie Jambor[G]ee
I hear you talking
[C]Back to bac[G]k, belly to bel[D]ly
Don't give a damn,
[G]done dead already
[C]Oh-ho, back back to [G]back, belly to belly
[D]At the Zombie Jambor[G]ee[D]
One [G]female

[Verse 4]
zombie [D]wouldn't [G]behave
See how she jump[D]ing out of [G]the grave
In one hand [D]a quarter [G]rum
The other hand,
she [D]knocking [G]conga drum
The lead [C]singer start to make
[G]his rhyme
[D]The zombies are rattling
their bones in [G]time
One [C]bystander had [G]this to say
"Was a pleasure to see
[D]the zombie break awa[G]y"
And they're singing
[C]Back to back,

[Verse 5]
[G]belly to bel[D]ly
Don't give a damn,
[G]done dead already
[C]Oh-ho, back back to [G]back, belly to belly
[D]At the Zombie Jambor[G]ee[C]
[D][G]

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][G][C][D][G][D]
[G]I

[Verse 6]
goin' talk [D]to [G]Brigitte Bardot
I tell her, "Miss Bardot,[D]take it [G]slow"
All the men think they're Casanova
[D]When the[G]y see that she[D]'s
bare foot [G]all over
[C]Even old men out in[G]to Topeka
Find [D]their hearts getting
weaker an[G]d weaker
So I goin' [C]ask her for your [G]sake and mine
At least wear her [D]earrings part at [G]the time
And I'm [C]singing

[Verse 7]
Back to [G]back, belly to belly
[D]Don't give a damn,
[G]done dead already
[C]Oh-ho back back to [G]back, belly to belly
[D]At the Zombie Jamboree
[G][C]

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 8]
A lot of [G]world
leader[D]s talkin' '[G]bout war
And I'm afraid they're go[D]ing too [G]far
So it's up to us, [D]you an[G]d me
To put an end to catastrophe
We [C]must appeal to their goodness [G]of heart
And ask [D]them to pitch in and
please do their [G]part
'Cause if this [C]atomic war be[G]gin
They won't even [D]have a part [G]to pitch in
And we'll be [C]singing

[Verse 9]
Back to [G]back, belly to [D]belly
Don't give a damn,
[G]done dead already
[C]Oh-ho, back back to [G]back, belly to belly
At [D]the Zombie Jambor[G]ee
I hear you talking
[C]Back to bac[G]k, belly to bel[D]ly
Don't give a damn,
[G]done dead already
[C]Oh-ho, back back to [G]back, belly to belly
At the Zom[Am]bie,
[D]Zombie Jam[G]bor[C]ee
[G]
