The Jitterbug Lyrics
The Jitterbug (Outtake) - Judy Garland/Ray Bolger/Jack Haley/Buddy Ebsen/Bert Lahr
Did you just hear what I just heard
That noise don't come from an ordinary bird
It may be just a cricket or a critter in the trees
It's giving me the jitters in the joints around the knees
I think I see a jijik and he's fuzzy and he's furry
I haven't got a brain but I think I ought to worry
I haven't got a heart but I've got a palpitation
As monarch of the forest I don't like the situation
Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror
I'd like to roar him down but I think I've lost my roarer
It's a whozis
It's a whosis
It's a whatzis
It's a whatzis
Whozat
Whozat
Whozat
Whozat
Who's that hiding in the tree tops
It's that rascal the jitterbug
Should you catch him buzzin' round you
Keep away from the jitterbug
Oh the bees and the breeze and the bats in the trees
Have a terrible horrible buzz
But the bees and the breeze and the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the jitterbug does
So be careful of that rascal
Keep away from the jitterbug
Oh the jitter
Oh the bug
Oh the jitterbug
In the twitter in the throes
All the critters
Got me dancing on a thousand toes
Now she blows
