Heebie Jeebies
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Say, I've got the heebies,
I mean the jeebies,
Talking about
The dance, the heebie jeebies,
Do, because they're boys,
Because it pleases me to be joy!
Say, don't you know it?
You don't know how, don't be blue,
Someone will teach you;
Come on, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Yes, ma'am,
Papa's got the heebie jeebies dance!
Skatting...
Say, come on, now, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Sweet mama!
Papa's got to do the heebie jeebies dance!
Spoken:
Wooh! Got the heebie jeebies!
Whatcha doin' with the heebies?
I just have to have the heebies!
