The jitter jump - Tampa Red, Red Tampa

The jitter jump is a mellow thing

It put you in the mood to swing

To kiss and dance and everything

The jitter jive is jumpin'

The old and grey, the young and gay

Are takin' chances every night and day

Gettin' the kicks the jazzy way

The jitter jive and jumpin'

Everywhere in town

You see them tuckin' around

Weighin' the smell of sound

And gettin' high and breakin' down

The jitter jump it won’t behave

Make you real and make you rock and sway

With your kicks with the hip hip way

The jitter jive is jumpin'

I say, the jitter jump is a mellow thing

Put you in the mood to swing

To kiss and dance and everything

The jitter jive is jumpin'

The old and grey, the young and gay

Are takin' chances every night and day

To get the kicks the jazzy way

The jitter jive is jumpin'

Everywhere in town

You see them tuckin' around

Weighin' the smell of sound

Gettin' high and breakin' down

The jitter jump it won’t behave

It make you real and make you rock and sway

And get your kicks the hip hip way

The jitter jive is jumpin'

The jitter jive is jumpin'
