[Verse 1]
Boys, what you gonna say down there?
Oh boys, what you gonna say down there?
Palomar, Shalimar, Swanee shore
Let me dig that jive once more

[Verse 2]
Boys, take it right on down to the gator
Oh boys, gotta take a side elevator
Can't you hear those hep cats call?
Come on boys, let's have a ball

[Chorus]
Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side, hep hep
Hep hep
Jim-jam-jump is a solid jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five, hep hep
Hep hep
Now don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, come on and follow through
When you get your steady foo
Make your jump like the gators do
Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side, hep hep
Hep hep
The jim-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hep hep on the mellow side
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
The jimma-jamma-jumpa is a jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hep, come on and follow through
When you get your steady foo
You make yourself jump like the gators do
Jim-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you like your eggs on the Jersey side, hep hep
Hep hep
The jim-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hep hep on the mellow side

[Scatting]

[Outro]
Now I told you 'bout the jumpin' jive (Hep hep)
Jim-jam-jump, the jumpin' jive (Hep hep)
I know you dug this mellow jive
'Cause you dig it on the mellow side
