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

Can't you hear those hip cats call

Come on boys let's 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 you're four foot five



Now, don't 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 you're four foot five

The jip-jam-jumpin' jive

Makes you hip hip on the mellow side



Now, don't 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
