[Intro]
Did you just hear what I just heard?
Oh, that noise don't come from no ordinary bird
Well, it could've been a cricket or a critter in the trees
I say it's giving me the jitters in the joints around my knees
I think I see a [?] and he's fuzzy and he's furry
I haven't got a brain, but I think I ought to worry
I haven't got a heart, but I got a palpitation
As monarch of the forest, I don't like this situation
We're gonna stand around and let them fill us full of Horror?
I'd like to roar 'em now
But I think I lost my roarer

[Verse]
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!

[Refrain]
Oh, the bats and the bees and the breeze
In the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz!
But the bats and the bees and the breeze
In the trees, couldn't do what the Jitterbug does!
So, be careful of that rascal
Keep away from the Jitterbug!
[Bridge]
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
(There she blows!)

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Oh, the bats and the bees and the breeze
In the trees have a terrible, horrible buzz!
But the bats and the bees and the breeze
In the trees, couldn't do what the Jitterbug does!
So, be careful of that rascal
Keep away from the Jitterbug!
