Boys - whatcha gonna say down there?
Oh, boys - whatcha gonna say down there?
Palomar, Shalimar, Swanee 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 hepcats 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
Hep hep
Hep hep
The jip-jam-jump is a 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 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
Hep hep
Hep hep
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hep hep on the mellow side
The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Now don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, 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
Hep hep
Hep hep
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side
Skiddley boo, skiddley diddley diddley...
Now I told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Jip-jam-jump the jumpin' jive
I know you dug this mellow jive
'Cause you dig it on the mellow side
