Doin' The Jive
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.
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 Romeo or ?
Don't let it bother you
Cause you'll be the King
When the band begins to swing
You'll be a smarty & 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?
(more spoken)
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 Romeo or ?
Don't let it bother you
Cause you'll be the King
When the band begins to swing
You'll be a smarty & the life of the party
If you do a 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
