(Listen all you chillun to that voodoo moan
There's a modern villun worser than that old boogie woogie
When that goofy critter spots your fancy clothes
He injects a jitter, Starts you dancing on a thousand toes, There he goes!)

Who's that hiding in the tree top?
It's that rascal, The Jitterbug!
Should you catch him buzzing 'round you
Keep away from, The Jitterbug!

Oh! the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz
But the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees couldn't do what The Jitterbug does!
So be careful of that rascal, Keep away from The Jitterbug!
The Jitterbug!
Oh! The Jitter! Oh The Bug!
Oh! The Jitterbug, Bug-a-bug, bug-a-bug, bug-a-boo
In a twitter, in the throes, Oh the critter's
Got me dancing on a thousand toes, Thar' she blows!
