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!

Lay it flat as a gator.

Now, can't you hear those hepcats call,

Yeah!

Come on, boys, let's have a ball!

The jim, jam, jump on the jumpin' jive

Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side,

Hep-hep!

Hep-hep!

The jim, jam, jump is the solid jive

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 and follow through,

Then you get your steady foo,

You make the joint jump like the gators do,

The jim, jam, jump on the jumpin' jive

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!

Hep-hep!

Hep-hep!

The jim, jam, jump, the solid jive

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 and follow through,

Then you get your steady foo,

You make the joint jump like the gators do,

The jim, jam, jump on the jumpin' jive

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!

[Scating]

Now, I've told you 'bout the jumpin' jive,

The jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive,

I know you dug this mellow jive,

Oh, you dig it on the mellow side.


Another Version

-----------------------

Boy? Oh, boy!

Panama, Shanama, Swanee shore,

Let me dig that jive some more;


Boy? Oh boy!

The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive

Makes you get your kicks on the mellow side.

Hep! Hep!

Hep! Hep!


The jim-jam-jump with the solid jive,

Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five,

Hep! Hep!

Hep! Hep!


Don't be that ickeroo,

Get hep and follow through,

And get your steady foo

Make the joint jump like the gators do,


The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive,

Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side,

Hep! Hep!

Hep! Hep!


The jim-jam-jump with the jumpin' jive,

Makes you hep! Hep! Hep! On the mellow side!
