Doin' The Jive - Glenn Miller

Lyrics by：G. Miller/C. McGregor

Composed by：G. Miller/C. McGregor

You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the Susie Q

Mix in a step or two

Put 'em all together

And you're doin the jive

Oh you stomp your feet

You swing out wide

Mess around awhile

Shake it boogie woogie style

Everybody's swinging when you doin the jive

If you can't play Rummy or at Bridge you're the dummy

Don't let it bother you

'Cause you'll be the King

When the band begins to swing

You'll be a smarty and the life of the party

If you do bump

And you swing out wide

Drop a little bit

Beat it out

Make a fit

Everybody's happy when you're doin the jive

It may be somethin' but it's not the jive

It may be somethin' but it's not the jive

Well what is the jive

What is the jive why man alive

The jive's the jive

Why I cut you the riff and did too

Just what else are we supposed to do

Take it cool now boss give me a chance

You're all mixed up

'Cause the jive's the dance

Well tell me some more I'm a

Talk again

Well down there some horn will have dancin' tools

You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the Susie Q

Mix in a step or two

Put it all all together

And you're doin' the jive

Oh you stomp your feet

And you swing out wide

Mess around awhile

Shake it boogie woogie style

Everybody's swinging when you doin' the jive

If you can't play Rummy or at Bridge you're the dummy

Don't let it bother you

'Cause you'll be the King

When the band begins to swing

You'll be a smarty and the life of the party

If you do a bump

And you swing out wide

Drop a little bit

Beat it out and make a fit

Everybody's happy when you're doin the jive
