(From the 1940 movie Dance, Girl, Dance)
I am just a sweet young thing of 22.
Or so. I never think to smoke or drink.
My life is one long... What? No.
I finish at Mrs. Sniffing school.
A model day bu-ton
I know each fork and spoon and rule.
I don't say can't. It's can't.
My etiquette is ooh may we?
I pour a pr-up a part of tea.
And even when I'm needing nip.
I never, never, never slip.
Well almost never
Oh cut it out fellas.
Try to be a lady.
Morning, noon and night
But when I hear music
Get the Jitterbug Bite.
Oh the tea and crumpets
Gee but I'm polite
But when I hear trumpets
Get the Jitterbug Bite.
I'm quite the quiet type
Pose at every move
But boy do I get noisy
When the boys get in the groove Yeah!
How can I be hyper?
What an awful plight
Gotta say goodbye now
You pardon me I gotta blow.
I gotta a slight twitch in my toe.
My feet are just itching to go.
Got the Jitterbug Bite ha!
Got the Jitterbug Bite Yeah Yeah!
Got a Jitterbug Bite!
