Boy, what you gonna say to that gate? Oh boy, what you gonna say to that gate? Palomar, Shalimar, Swami, Shaw Let me dig this jive once more Boy, come right on down to the gate Oh boy, we got a big smile to your gate Oh, can't you hear those hep-cats call? Come on, boys, let's have a ball The Jim Jam Jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you dig your kicks on the mellow side Hep-hep, hep-hep The Jim Jam Jump is a solid jive Makes you nine foot tall, you're four foot five Hep-hep, hep-hep Ah, don't you be that icker-roo You get hep, come on, follow through You get your steady foo You make the joint jump like the gators do The Jim Jam Jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you dig your kicks on the Jersey side Hep-hep, hep-hep The Jim Jam Jumpin' jive Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side Jim Jam Jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you dig your kicks on the mellow side Hep-hep, hep-hep The Jim Jam Jump is a solid jive Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five Hep-hep, hep-hep Oh, don't you be that icker-roo You get hep, come on and then you follow through You get your steady foo You make the joint jump like the gators do The Jim Jam Jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you dig your kicks on the Jersey side Hep-hep, hep-hep The Jim Jam Jumpin' jive Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side
