The Jumpin' Jive
(Calloway-Froeba-Palmer)
Boy? Oh, boy!
Panama, Shanama, Swanee shore,
Let me dig that jive some more;
Boy? Oh boy!
The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive
Makes you get your kicks on the mellow side.
Hep! Hep!
Hep! Hep!
The jim-jam-jump with the solid jive,
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five,
Hep! hep!
Hep! Hep!
Don't be that ickeroo,
Get hep and follow through,
And get your steady foo
Make the joint jump like the gators do,
The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive,
Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side,
Hep! Hep!
Hep! Hep!
The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive,
Makes you hep! hep! hep! on the mellow side!
As performed by Cab Calloway
