Sugar Blues Lyrics

 

I'm just a jitterbug

A happy jitterbug

 

A little jitterbug lookin' for a place to jive

I'm not a corny hick

Scat

I know a real hot lick

Scat

'Cause I'm a jitterbug mighty glad that I'm alive

 

Give me a solid ascender

 

Not just an elbow bender

Don't want no old time jazz

No razzamataz just swing

 

'Cause I'm just a jitterbug

A happy jitterbug

 

A little jitter jitter jitterbug lookin' for a place to jive

The trumpet's goin' crazy

 

Say he is a torrid cat

He sure can swing a plenty

When he's blowin' through his hat

 

Just listen to that gentleman

He's gettin' awful licks

Sure when that baby goes to town

 

He sure is mighty slick

And now a listen folks and you will hear

The drummer of the band

Now I know that he's a drummer

 

By that drumstick in his hand

So gather round me all you cats

Let each man do his part

Come on you leader beat it all

 

 

The jammin's gonna start
