Lyrics:

Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Be-doodle-de-ack, be-doodle-de-ackasaki!
Hep-hep!
Oh, boo-dang, dang-a-dee-day.
Hep-hep!
Gonna tell you 'bout the jumpin' jive.
Hep-hep!
Jim, jam, the jumpin' jive.
Hep-hep!
Man, those cats gonna beat out that 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 shores;
Let me dig that jive some more.
Boy!
Take it right on down to the gator.
Oh, boy!
Little gator, slide little gator.
Can you hear them hepcats shout?
Come on, boys, let's have a ball!
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 feet tall when you're four feet five.
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
And 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 dig your eggs on the Jersey side.
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump, the jumpin' jive;
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump and jumpin' jive;
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side.
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump, and jumpin' jive;
Makes you nine feet tall when you're four feet five.
Hep-hep!
Hep-hep!
Now, don't you be that ickeroo;
Get hep, come on, follow through.
Then you get your steady foo;
You make the joint jump like the gators do.
The jim, jam, jump and jumpin' jive;
Makes you dig your eggs on the Jersey side.
Hep-hep!
The jim, jam, jump, and the jumpin' jive;
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side.
(Scatting)
The jim, jam, jump, and the jumpin' jive;
Makes you hep-hep on the mellow side.
