Hit That Jive, Jack

Oh, well, a-hello, friend, a-give me some skin

I haven't seen you since I don't know when

Oh, well, you look al-root

In your new zoot suit

And very, very groovy

Like a ten-cent movie

Hit that jive, Jack

Put it in your pocket 'til I get back

Goin' downtown to see a man

And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive, Jack

Put it in your pocket 'til I get back

Goin' downtown to dig a cat

And I ain't got time to tip my hat

Standin' right down here on this corner

While I dig this jive

And if you stand here on this corner

I might give you five

Hit that jive, Jack

Put it in your pocket 'til I get back

Time or tide waits for no man

And I ain't got time to shake your hand

A-hit that jive, Jack

(I got it in my pocket) You better knock it back

Goin' downtown to see a man

(You mean you ain't got time to shake my hand?) No, man

A-hit that jive, Jack

(I got it in my breast) Well, then, I'll let it rest

(You're goin' downtown to dig a cat?) And I ain't got time to tip my hat

I'll stand right down here on this corner

I'm all full of jive

And if I stand here on this corner

Hold out your hand, I might a-give a-you five

Hit that jive, Jack

Put it in your pocket 'til I get back

Time or tide waits for no man

And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive, Jack

Hit that jive, Jack

Hit that jive, Jack

Put it in your pocket

Knock it back
