Nat “King” Cole
Hit That Jive, Jack
[Chorus]
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Time and time waits for no man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

[Verse 1]
Standing on a corner
All full of jive
But you know that you're my boy
And I'll always give you five
Shadde yadda

[Chorus]
Hit that jive, Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
Hit that jive, Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
Hit that jive, Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Time and time waits for no man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand
[Verse 2]
Standing on a corner
All full of jive
But you know that you're my boy
And I'm 'posed to give you five

[Chorus]
Hit that jive, Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Hit that jive, Jack
Dadada, put it in your pocket
Hit that jive, Jack
Dadada, put it in your pocket
Hit that jive, Jack
Dadada, put it in your pocket
Hit that jive, Jack
Dadada, put it in your pocket
[Scatting]
Hit that jive, Jack
Put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time
I ain't got time
I ain't got time to shake your hand
So won't you put it in your pocket 'til I get back
Hit that jive, Jack
