Boys - whatcha gonna say down there? Oh, boys - whatcha gonna say down there? Palomar, Shalimar, Swanee Shore Let me dig that jive once more Boys - take it right on down to the gator Oh, boys - gotta take a side elevator Can't you hear those hepcats call Come on, boys, let's have a ball The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side Hep hep Hep hep The jip-jam-jump is a 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 do When you get your steady fool You met your jump like the gators do The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side Hep hep Hep hep The jip-jam-jumpin' jive Makes you hep hep on the mellow side The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five The jip-jam-jumpin' jive Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side Now don't you be that ickeroo Get hep, come on and follow do When you get your steady fool You met your jump like the gators do The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side Hep hep Hep hep The jip-jam-jumpin' jive Makes you hip hip on the mellow side Skiddley boo, skiddley diddley diddley... Now I told you 'bout the jumpin' jive Jip-jam-jump the jumpin' jive I know you dug this mellow jive 'Cause you dig it on the mellow side
