Tampa Red - The Jitter Jump lyrics

The jitter jump is a mellow thing It put you in the mood to swing To kiss and dance and everything The jitter jive is jumpin' The old and grey, the young and gay Are takin' chances every night and day Gettin' the kicks the jazzy way The jitter jive and jumpin' Everywhere in town You see them tuckin' around Weighin' the smell of sound And gettin' high and breakin' down The jitter jump it won't behave Make you real and make you rock and sway With your kicks with the hip hip way The jitter jive is jumpin' I say, the jitter jump is a mellow thing Put you in the mood to swing To kiss and dance and everything The jitter jive is jumpin' The old and grey, the young and gay Are takin' chances every night and day To get the kicks the jazzy way The jitter jive is jumpin' Everywhere in town You see them tuckin' around Weighin' the smell of sound Gettin' high and breakin' down The jitter jump it won't behave It make you real and make you rock and sway And get your kicks the hip hip way The jitter jive is jumpin' The jitter jive is jumpin'
