Jumpin' Jive

[Verse 1]

Boys, what you gonna say down there?

Oh boys, what you gonna say down there?

Palomar, Shalimar, Swanee shore

Let me dig that jive once more

[Verse 2]

Boys, take it right on down to the gator

Oh boys, gotta take a side elevator

Can't you hear those hep cats call?

Come on boys, let's have a ball

[Chorus]

Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive

Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side, hep hep

Hep hep

Jim-jam-jump is a solid jive

Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five, hep hep

Hep hep

Now don't you be that ickeroo

Get hep, come on and follow through

When you get your steady foo

Make your jump like the gators do

Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive

Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side, hep hep

Hep hep

The jim-jam-jumpin' jive

Makes you hep hep on the mellow side

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive

Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five

The jimma-jamma-jumpa is a jumpin' jive

Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side

Now, don't you be that ickeroo

Get hep, come on and follow through

When you get your steady foo

You make yourself jump like the gators do

Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive

Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side, hep hep

Hep hep

The jim-jam-jumpin' jive

Makes you hep hep on the mellow side

[Scatting]

[Outro]

Now I told you 'bout the jumpin' jive (Hep hep)

Jim-jam-jump, the jumpin' jive (Hep hep)

I know you dug this mellow jive

'Cause you dig it on the mellow side
