Lyrics[]

Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail

Baby, baby it' looks like it's gonna hail

You better come inside

Let me teach you how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale

Mama's in the backyard learning how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male

A woman is a woman and a man ain't nothin' but a male

One good thing about him

He knows how to jive and wail

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail

Jill stayed up, she wants to learn how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail away!

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive, and then you wail

You gotta jump, jive... jump jive... jump jive... jump jive!
