Hep-hep, hep-hep
Hep-hep, hep-hep
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Jim, jam, jump the jumpin' jive
Cats gonna beat out this mellow jive
Beat it out on the mellow side
Boy, what you gonna say there, gate?
Oh, boy, what you 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, gotta dig a sly little gator
Now can't you give those hep cats a 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 the joint 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 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 the joint 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
Now I 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
