The Jumpin' Jive Lyrics

(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep) be-doodle-de-ack, be-doodle-de-ackasaki (hep-hep)
Oh, boo-dang, dang-a-dee-day (hep-hep)
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive (hep-hep)
Jim, jam, the jumpin' jive (hep-hep)
Man, those cats gonna beat out that mellow jive (hep-hep)
Beat it out on the mellow side, dig it

Boy (whatcha gonna say there, gate?)
Oh, boy (whatcha gonna say there, gate?)
Now, Palomar, Shalamar, Swanee shores
Let me dig that jive some more
Boy (take it right on down to the gator)
Oh, boy (little gator, slide little gator)
Now, can you hear them hepcats shout?
Come on, boys, let's have a ball

(The jim, jam, jump is the jumpin' jive)
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Hep-hep
Hep-hep
(The jim, jam, jump is the solid jive)
Makes you nine feet tall when you four feet five
Hep-hep
Hep-hep
And now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hip, come on and follow through
Then you get your steady foo'
You make the joint jump like the gators do
(The jim, jam, jump is the jumpin' jive)
Makes you dig your eggs on the Jersey side
Hep-hep
(The jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive)
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side, get mellow

(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)
(Hep-hep)

The jim, jam, jump and jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Hep-hep
Hep-hep
The jim, jam, jump, and jumpin' jive
Makes you nine feet tall when you're four feet five
Hep-hep
Hep-hep
Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, come on, follow through
Then you get your steady foo
You make the joint jump like the gators do
The jim, jam, jump and jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your eggs on the Jersey side
Hep-hep
The jim, jam, jump, and the jumpin' jive
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side

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