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!
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!
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump on
the jumpin' jive,
Will make you dig your jive
on the mellow side,
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump, the solid jive

Boy? Oh, boy!
Panama, Shanama, Swanee shore,
Let me dig that jive some more;

Boy? Oh boy!
The jim-jam-jump with

Makes you get your kicks

Makes you nine foot tall

five,
Hep! hep!
Hep! Hep!

Don't be that ickeroo,
Get hep and follow through,
And get your steady foo
Make the joint jump

Hep! Hep!
Hep! Hep!

The jim-jam-jump with

Makes you hep! hep! hep!
on the mellow side!
