Jumpin Jive — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Boys - what you gonna say down there?

Oh boys - what you gonna say down there?

Palamar, shalamar, swanny shore

Let me dig that jive once more



Boys - take it right on down to the gator

Oh boys - gotta take a side elevator

Cant you hear those hip cats call

Come on boys lets have a ball



The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin jive

Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side

The jip-jam-jump is a solid jive

Makes you nine foot tall when youre four foot five



Now, dont you be that ickeroo

Get hip, 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

The jip-jam-jumpin jive

Makes you hip hip on the mellow side



The jip-jam-jump is a solid jive

Makes you nine foot tall when youre four foot five

The jip-jam-jumpin jive

Makes you hip hip on the mellow side



Now, dont you be that ickeroo

Get hip, 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

The jip-jam-jumpin jive

Makes you hip hip on the mellow side



Skibbel-de-doo . . .

Now I told you bout the jumpin jive

Jip-jam-jum the jumpin jive

I know you dug this mellow jive

Cause you dig it on the mellow side
