Jitter Bug (01-22-34)

Jitter Bug (01-22-34) - Cab Calloway (凱伯·凱洛威)

If you'd like to be a jitter bug

First thing you must do is get a jug

Put whiskey wine and gin within

And shake it all up and then begin

Grab a cup and start to toss

You are drinking jitter sauce

Don't you worry you just mug

And then you'll be a jitter bug

Hear this fat boy blowing his horn

He's been a bug since the day he was born

His favorite jitter sauce is rye

I swear he'll drink it 'til the day he die

Toot your whistle and ring your bell

Oh butchie wutchie time will tell

Don't you worry you just mug

You'll always be a jitter bug

These four boys playing saxophone

Order jitter sauce by phone

Central give me Harlem 4-9-4

I think these bugs could drink some more

They drink sauce from morn to night

And never stop until they're tight

Don't you worry they just mug

They're poor little jitter bugs

Now here's old Father a wicked old man

Drinks more sauce than the other bugs can

He drinks jitter sauce every morn

That's why jitter sauce was born

See him shake with his trombone

He just can't leave that sauce alone

Get along Father you just mug

You'll always be a jitter bug

There's Rip Van with his eyes a twinkle

We named him after Rip Van Winkle

Like Rip he'd sleep for twenty years

If he could get his fill of beer

Rip drinks his sauce gets on the stand

Soon he forgets that he's in the band

Don't awaken him just let him mug

He'll always be a jitter bug
