The jitter jump is a mellow thing
It put you in the mood to swing
To kiss and dance and everything
The jitter jive is jumpin'
The old and grey, the young and gay
Are takin' chances every night and day
Gettin' the kicks the jazzy way
The jitter jive and jumpin'
Everywhere in town
You see them tuckin' around
Weighin' the smell of sound
And gettin' high and breakin' down
The jitter jump it won't behave
Make you real and make you rock and sway
With your kicks with the hip hip way
The jitter jive is jumpin'
I say, the jitter jump is a mellow thing
Put you in the mood to swing
To kiss and dance and everything
The jitter jive is jumpin'
The old and grey, the young and gay
Are takin' chances every night and day
To get the kicks the jazzy way
The jitter jive is jumpin'
Everywhere in town
You see them tuckin' around
Weighin' the smell of sound
Gettin' high and breakin' down
The jitter jump it won't behave
It make you real and make you rock and sway
And get your kicks the hip hip way
The jitter jive is jumpin'
The jitter jive is jumpin'
