Lyrics

Hep hep
De-boodle-de-ack, de-boodle-de-ackasaki (hep hep)
Oh, rang-tang, te-dah-dah (hep-hep)
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive (hep hep)
Jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive (hep hep)
Cats gonna beat out this mellow jive (hep hep)
Beat it out on the mellow side
Boy (whatcha gonna say there, gate?)
Oh, boy (whatcha gonna say there, gate?)
Palomar, shalomar, Swanee shore
Let me dig that jive once more
Boy (lay it right on down to the gator)
Oh, boy (gotta lay it flat as a gator)
Now, can't you hear those hep cats call? (Yeah!)
Come on, boys, let's have a ball
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Hep hep
Hep hep
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
Hep hep
Hep hep
Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, come on, follow through
Then you get your steady foo
You make the joint jump like the gators do
Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side
Hep hep
Hep hep
The jim, jam, jumpin' jive
Makes you hep hep on the mellow side
Hep hep

The jim, jam, jump on the jumpin' jive (da, da-da, da-da-da)
Will make you dig your jive on the mellow side (da, da-da, da-da-da)

Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five (da, da-da, da-da-da)

Don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, come on and follow through
Then you get your steady foo
You make the joint jump like the gators do

Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side (da, da-da, da-da-da)
