Cab Calloway And His Orchestra - The Jumpin' Jive (Hep-Hep!) lyrics

Hep-hep!
De boodle-de-ack, de boodle-de-ackasaki!
Hep-hep! Oh, rang tang, te dah dah
Hep-hep!
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Hep-hep! Jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive
Hep-hep!
Cats gonna beat out this mellow jive
Hep-hep! Beat it out on the mellow side

Boy? Whatcha gonna say there, gate?
Oh, boy! Whatcha gonna say there, gate?
Palomar, shalomar, Swanee shore
Let me dig that jive once more boy!
Lay it right on down to the gator oh, boy!
Lay it flat as a gator
Now, can't you hear those hepcats call
Yeah! Come on, boys, let's have a ball!
The jim, jam, jump on 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 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
Then you get your steady foo
You make the joint jump like the gators do
The jim, jam, jump on the 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!
Hep-hep! Hep-hep!
Hep-hep! Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump on the jumpin' jive
Will make you dig your jive
On the mellow side hep-hep!
Hep-hep! The jim, jam, jump, the 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
Then you get your steady foo
You make the joint jump like the gators do
The jim, jam, jump on the 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
Hep-hep! Hep-hep!

Now, I've told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
The jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive
I know you dug this mellow jive
Oh, you dig it on the mellow side
