Everybody's doing the jim jim jive
Step up and lemme lemme lemme tell ya
Come one and dance to the jive
With the pipers playing just for you
Uh huh
Hurry hurry hurry hurry
When you do the jim jim jive
Shake your fists and do a little twisting
And slide you feet and pop and stroll
Cross the floor and swing your hips
And shimmy shimmy shimmy
Shimmy
The pipers playing rock-n-roll oh
Take a little spinner oh oh oh oh
Live a little, give in boy
And when the dance becomes the dancer it's
