Cab Calloway - Jitter Bug lyrics

If you'd like to be a jitter bug First thing you must do is get a jug Put whiskey, wine and gin within And shake it all up and then begin Grab a cup and start to toss You are drinking jitter sauce Don't you worry, you just mug And then you'll be a jitter bug Hear this fat boy blowing his horn He's been a bug since the day he was born His favorite jitter sauce is rye I swear, he'll drink it 'til the day he die Toot your whistle and ring your bell Oh, butchie-wutchie, time will tell Don't you worry, you just mug You'll always be a jitter bug These four boys playing saxophone Order jitter sauce by phone Central, give me Harlem 4-9-4 I think these bugs could drink some more They drink sauce from morn to night And never stop until they're tight Don't you worry, they just mug They're poor little jitter bugs Now, here's old Father, a wicked old man Drinks more sauce than the other bugs can He drinks jitter sauce every morn That's why jitter sauce was born See him shake with his trombone He just can't leave that sauce alone Get along, Father, you just mug You'll always be a jitter bug There's Rip Van with his eyes a-twinkle We named him after Rip Van Winkle Like Rip, he'd sleep for twenty years If he could get his fill of beer Rip drinks his sauce, gets on the stand Soon he forgets that he's in the band Don't awaken him, just let him mug He'll always be a jitter bug
