Lyrics
You clap your hands
And you swing out wide
Do the Suzie Q, mix in a step or two
Put 'em all together, and you're doin' the jive
Oh, you stomp your feet, you swing out wide
Mess around a while, shake it boogie-woogie style
Everybody's swingin' when you doin' the jive
If you can't play rummy, or at bridge, you're the dummy
Don't let it bother you
'Cause you'll be the king when the band begins to swing
You'll be a smarty and the life of the party
If you do a bump, and you swing out wide
Drop a little bit, beat it out and make a fit
Everybody's happy when you're doin' the jive
It may be somethin' but it's not the jive
It may be somethin' but it's not the jive
Well, what is the jive?
What is the jive, why man alive
The jive's the jive
Why I cut you some riff and posse too
Just what else are we supposed to do?
Take it cool now boss, give me a chance
You're all mixed up
'Cause the jive's the dance
Well, tell me some more, I'm a suck at you
Well, down there some horn will have dancin' tools
You clap your hands, and you swing out wide
Do the Suzie Q, mix in a step or two
Put it all together, and you're doin' the jive
Oh, you stomp your feet
And you swing out wide
Mess around a while, shake it boogie-woogie style
Everybody's swingin' when you doin' the jive
If you can't play rummy, or at bridge, you're the dummy
Don't let it bother you 'cause you'll be the king
When the band begins to swing
You'll be a smarty and the life of the party
If you do a bump, and you swing out wide
Drop a little bit, beat it out and make a fit
Everybody's happy when you're doin' the jive
