DOIN THE JIVE - Glenn Miller

You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the Suzy 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 your a 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

Truck a little bit

Beat it out

Make it fit

Everybody’s happy when they’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?

(more spoken)

You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the Suzy 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 they’re doin the jive

If you can’t play Rummy, or at Bridge your a 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

Truck a little bit

Beat it out and

Make it fit

Everybody’s happy when they’re doin the jive
