The Juba dance was originally from West Africa. Also called hambone, juba is a style of dance that involves stomping as well as slapping and patting the arms, legs, chest, and cheeks. (source)

Lyrics

Juba this and Juba that.
Juba chased a yellow cat,
Juba up and Juba down,
Juba running all around.
