When the blues gotcha payin' dues an' feelin' beat Go an' throw ya troubles away in the deep blue sea Baby, kick off ya shoes an' use those reelin' feet! Hurry on back start jumpin' with me! Let's jump! Jump until they put out the lights, and jump! I think you'll agree The music is as groovy as it used to be! Troubles go doubles So throw away your troubles And come on with me! Wait until we get on the floor Then jump, jump, jump until ya can't no more! My baby, now jump! Turn it loose an' wiggle With a wobble an' a giggle, pretty baby Baby, tell me do you wanna jive, or, tell me, do you wanna jump? I don't care about what the people do, or what people say We're only here for a day Well, I only know the main thing is give a lot o' livin' So go out swingin', pretty baby! Jump with a rubbery-dubbery feelin' Jump till you really are rockin' an' reelin' Jump till you're spinnin' it all around Pullin' your body down, all around, around right onto the ground And then you're really swingin'! Come on an' jump with me, little purdy one come on, jump up n' down Jump, Baby, and stomp. Don't stop swingin' those hips around me! Jump till you really get the feelin' over you to live and be happy Baby, while you may! Come on an' swing, come on an' swing Don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! Let's jump! Jump until ya feel it in the rump! Jump until you're leapin' up high! Well, you better reach an' get it for you'll never take it with you when you die No... Shake that thing! So go ahead an' wiggle, pretty baby, and romp So pretty to the eye! So go ahead an' shimmy, pretty baby, and jump! Spread wings! Jump, jump! Spread wings! Jump! Spread your wings! Jump, jump! Spread wings! Jump, jump! Spread your wings! Jump, jump! Spread your wings and jump! Makes you feel so good Like I knew it would! You gotta keep swingin', pretty baby Jump and make up your mind to reach the summit! Jump! And give it an easy stride And jump! And give it a greasy slide And jump! Baby, won't cha boogie it wide? And jump! Jump until you raise up an' glide And jump! Jump until you shake it loose an' break it loose! Slide along and glide along! Come on, Old Bill Bailey Please tell my friends I'm comin' o'er the top! Well, I hate to go an' leave you, but I tell you it's all over now, pretty baby Baby, it was fun, yes it was Oh yes, it was fun. It was! I'm glad I met ya (When the blues gotcha payin' dues an' feelin' beat) An' I never will forget ya an' the way you dance (Baby, kick off ya shoes an' use those reelin' feet!) Never forget ya, 'cause I love ya, pretty baby An' I love the way you dance! (You dance!)
