The Jumpin' Jive Lyrics

Boy? Oh, boy!
Panama, Shanama, Swanee shore,
Let me dig dig 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! hip-hip hip-hip
Hep! Hep! hip-hip hip-hip

The jim-jam-jump with the solid jive,
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five,
Hep! hep! hip-hip hip-hip
Hep! Hep! hip-hip hip-hip

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,

Up today, up today
Make the joint jump like the gators do,

The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive
Makes you get your kicks on the mellow side.
Hep! Hep!
Hep! Hep! Dee - ha - ho

Ho-ho the jim-jam-jump with the solid jive,
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five,
Hep! hep!
Hep! Hep! Dee - ha - ho
Oh don't be that ickeroo,
Ge-ge-ge-get that hep and than you follow through,
And get your steady foo foo foo foo foo foo
And let the foo to you

Yip your mellow, yee 'n yellow
And if you hear a knock on front the door
Do let me in because there might be more

If you're hollow, don't let the hick be follow
And let me stop to jump like the gators do
Do do the jump jump jump to be a nickleroo

The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin'jive
Make you like your eggs on the Jersey side
Hep! Hep!
Hep! Hep! Hep! Hep!

On the mellow side
