The Jumpin' Jive Songtext

von Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive
The jim-jam, the jumpin' jive
Man, those cats gonna beat out that mellow jive
Beat it out on the mellow side

Boys - what you gonna say down there?
Oh Boys - what you gonna say down there?
Palamar, Shalamar, Swanny Shore
Let me dig that jive some more

Boys - take it right on down to the gator
Oh boys - gotta take a sly little gator
Can't you hear those hip cats shout
Come on boys let's have a ball

The jip-jam-jump is the jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
The jip-jam-jump is a solid jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you four foot five

Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hip, come on and follow through
When you get your steady fool
You met your jump like the gators do

The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your eggs on the Jersey side
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side

The jip-jam-jump is the jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
The jip-jam-jump, the jumpin' jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you four foot five

Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hip, come on and follow through
When you get your steady fool
You met your jump like the gators do

The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your eggs on the Jersey side
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side

Skibbel-de-doo...

The jim-jam jump, the jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side
