Jitterburg |
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. |
