I'm Just A Jitterbug

I'm Just A Jitterbug - Ella Fitzgerald

I'm just a jitterbug

A happy jitterbug

A little jitterbug looking for a place to jive

I'm not a corny hick

I know a real hot lick

'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 looking for a place to jive

The trumpet's going crazy

Say he is a torrid cat

He sure can swing a-plenty

When he's blowing through his hat

Just listen to that gentleman

He's getting awful licks

See 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
