Jitterbug

Jitter Bug - Cab Calloway (凯伯·凯洛威)

Written by：Swayze/Mills/Calloway

If you'd like to be a bitter 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 bitter sauce

Don't you worry you just mug

And then you'll be a bitter bug

Hear this fat boy blowing his horn

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

His favorite bitter sauce is rye

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

Toot your whistle and ring your bell

Oh butcher techie time will tell

Don't you worry you just mug

You'll always be a bitter bug

These four boys playing saxophone

Order bitter sauce by phone

Central give me Harlem 494

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 bitter bugs

Now here's old father a wicked old man

Drinks more sauce than the other bugs can

He drinks bitter sauce every morn

That's why bitter 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 bitter 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 bitter bug
