boys - what you gonna say down there?
oh boys - what you gonna say down there?
let me dig that jive once more
boys - take it right on down to the gator
oh boys - gotta take a side elevator
can't you hear those hip cats call
come on boys let's have a ball
the jip-jam-jump is a 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're four foot five
don't you be that ickeroo
when you get your steady fool
you met your jump like the gators do
the jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
makes you like your eggs on the jersey side
makes you hip hip on the mellow side
the jip-jam-jump is a solid jive
makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
makes you hip hip on the mellow side
don't you be that ickeroo
when you get your steady fool
you met your jump like the gators do
the jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
makes you like your eggs on the jersey side
makes you hip hip on the mellow side
skibbel-de-doo. now i told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
