Hep-hep
He-buddly-ack, he-buddly-acka-sacka (Hep-hep)
Oh, rang-tang-cha-tadda (Hep-hep)
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive (Hep-hep)
Jim-jam-jump, the jumpin' jive (Hep-hep)
Cat's gonna beat out this mellow jive (Hep-hep)
Beat it out on the mellow side
Boy! (What you gonna play that game?)
Oh, boy! (What you gonna play that game?)
Palomar, shalomar, Swanee shore
Help me dig that jive once more
Boy! (Play it right on down to the river)
Oh, boy! (Gotta dig a mellow jive)
Now, can't you hear those hepcats call? (Yeah!)
Come on, boys, let's have a ball
The jim-jam-jump is 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 fool
You make your jump like the gators do
The jim-jam-jump is 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 jimma-jamma-jumpa-jumpin'-jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Hep-hep, hep-hep
The jimma-jamma-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 fool
You make your jump like the gators do
The jim-jam-jump is the jumpin' jive
Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side
Hep-hep, hep-hep
The jimma-jamma-jumpin' jive
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side
Hep-hep
Dibba-diddley-dibba-diddley-dibba-diddley
Diddley-diddley-diddley going, going, going, going, da-dada
Now, told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Jim-jam-jump, the jumpin' jive
I know you dug this mellow jive
Boom, you dig it on the mellow side
