Lyrics
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!

Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!

The jim, jam, jump is 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 is 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!

Now I've told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Jam, jump, the jumpin' jive
She got to take this hollow jive, yes, yes
You take it on the mellow side

Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
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!
