Doin' The Jive

You clap your hands
 And you swing out wide
 Do the Suzie Q, mix in a step or two
 Put 'em all together, and you're doin' the jive
 Oh, you stomp your feet, you swing out wide
 Mess around a while, shake it boogie-woogie style
 Everybody's swingin' when you doin' the jive
 If you can't play rummy, or at bridge, you're the dummy
 Don't let it bother you
 'Cause you'll be the king when the band begins to swing
 You'll be a smarty and the life of the party
 If you do a bump, and you swing out wide
 Drop a little bit, beat it out and make a fit
 Everybody's happy when you're doin' the jive
 ♪
 It may be somethin' but it's not the jive
 It may be somethin' but it's not the jive
 Well, what is the jive?
 What is the jive, why man alive
 The jive's the jive
 Why I cut you some riff and posse too
 Just what else are we supposed to do?
 Take it cool now boss, give me a chance
 You're all mixed up
 'Cause the jive's the dance
 Well, tell me some more, I'm a suck at you
 Well, down there some horn will have dancin' tools
 You clap your hands, and you swing out wide
 Do the Suzie Q, mix in a step or two
 Put it all together, and you're doin' the jive
 Oh, you stomp your feet
 And you swing out wide
 Mess around a while, shake it boogie-woogie style
