Jitter Bug - Original - Cab Calloway and His Orchestra

If you like to be a jitterbug,

first thing you must do is get a jug

put whisky whine and gin within and shake it all up,

and then begin

grab a cup and start to toss

you are drinkin jittersauce

dont you worry you just mug

and then you’ll be a jitterbug

Hear this fat boy blowing his horn?

he’s been a bug since the day he was born

his favorite jittersauce is rye

we’ll drink it till the day he dies

toot your whistle and ring your bell

ol butchy wutchy time or tell

dont you worry you just mug

you’ll always be a jitterbug

these four boys playin saxiphone

order jittersauce by phone

said to give your haliporniboy

i think these bugs can drink some more

they drink sauce some more tonight

never stop until theyre tired

dont you worry they just mug

theyre poor little jitterbugs

now heres old father

a wicked old man

drinks more sauce then then the other mugs can

he drinks jittersauce everymorning

thats why juttersauce was born

see him shake with his trambone

just cant leave that sauce alone

get along father you just mug

you’ll always be a jitterbug

as ripman with his eyes atwinkle

we names him after rip van winkle

like rip hed sleep for 20 years

if he could get his fill of beer

rip drinks his sauce gets on the stand

soon to forget hes in the band

dont awaken him just let him mug

he’ll always be a jitterbug

all bugs out,

all bugs out

(yeah man)

poor little monkey jitterbug

aw theres not a jitterbug in da band

(yeah man)

hey

swing it bugs go bugs swing it

bigfoot bugs
