1. _ Jumpin' Jive
Boys - what you gonna say down there?
Oh boys - what you gonna say down there?
Palamar, shalamar, swanny shore
Let me dig that jive once more
Boys - take it right on down to the gator
Oh boys - gotta take a side elevator
Can't you hear those hip cats call
Come on boys let's have a ball
The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you dig your jive on the mellow side
The jip-jam-jump is a solid jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hip, come on and follow do
When you get your steady fool
You met your jump like the gators do
The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you like your eggs on the jersey side
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side
The jip-jam-jump is a solid jive
Makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side
Now, don't you be that ickeroo
Get hip, come on and follow do
When you get your steady fool
You met your jump like the gators do
The jip-jam-jump is a jumpin' jive
Makes you like your eggs on the jersey side
The jip-jam-jumpin' jive
Makes you hip hip on the mellow side
Skibbel-de-doo . . .
Now i told you 'bout the jumpin' jive
Jip-jam-jum the jumpin' jive
I know you dug this mellow jive
Cause you dig it on the mellow side

2. _ Jack, You're Dead
When you got no more assurance
Than a great big hunk o' lead
If you don't respond to romance
Jack, you're dead
When a chick is smilin' at you
Even though there's nothin' said
You stand there like a statue
Jack, you're dead
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man mose'
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And you blow your top instead
It's a fact that you ain't livin'
Jack, you're dead
When you just ain't got nobody
Since you gone and lost your head
Rigor mortis has set in, daddy
Jack, you're dead
What's the use of havin' muscles
If your life hangs by a thread
If you ain't got no red corpuscles
Jack, you're dead
You been always kickin'
But you stubbed your toes
When you ups and kicks the bucket
Just like ole man mose'
When you get no kicks from lovin'
And the news begins to spread
All the cats will holler "murder"
Jack, you're dead
All the breath has leaked out of you
If your friends gather round the bed
And look at you and say "mm mm, don't he look natural?"
When that happens to you, daddy jack, you're dead

3. _ San Francisco Fan
San francisco fan
Loved a no-good gamblin' man
She drank the coffee dregs
So she could fry his eggs in a golden frying pan
Can-can-ed by command of the gold rush cafe clan
She gave her man her pay
He gambled it away
Playing chinatown fan-tan
Once they caught him cheatin'
And he knew that he was beaten
When a miner aimed a pistol at his head
Fanny when she'd seen him ran and jumped right in between 'em
And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead
There was fanny dyin'
While a hundred men stood cryin'
And the angels up above were cryin' too
When seven horses started draggin'
Fanny's coffin in a wagon
Through a dusty californian avenue
San francisco fan
Gave her life to save her man
A man who wasn't worth
A shovelful of earth
From the grave of san francisco fan
San francisco fan
Loved a no-good gamblin' man
She drank the coffee dregs
So she could fry his eggs
In a golden frying pan
San francisco fan
Gave her life to save her man
A man who wasn't worth
A shovelful of earth
From the grave of san francisco fan

4. _ You're My Meat
Outside in and inside out you're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy you're my meat
From your feet to your head you knock me dead, you're my meat
I got you covered but baby, you're my meat
In the days of old when knights were bold
They were pious and modest i'm told
Can't you see that couldn't be me
I'd have to talk about your yams and your big fat hams
It excites me so because i know you're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy you're my meat
In the days of old when knights were bold
They were pious and modest i'm told
Can't you see that couldn't be me
I'd have to talk about your yams and your big fat hams
It excites me so because i know you're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy you're my meat
Fat and forty but lordy lordy . . . you're my meat

5. _ Tuxedo Junction
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where i belong
Way down south in birmingham
I mean south in alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long town, i'm heading for
Tuxedo junction now
Feelin' low
Rockin' slow
I want to go
Right back where i belong
Way down south in birmingham
I mean south in alabam'
There's an old place where people go
To dance the night away
They all drive or walk for miles
To get jive that southern style
It's an old jive that makes you want
To dance till break of day
It's a junction where the town folks meet
At each function in a tux they greet you
Come on down, forget your care
Come on down, you'll find me there
So long town, i'm heading for
Tuxedo junction now
Tuxedo junction now

6. _ Five Guys Named Moe
I gotta tell you a story from way back
Truck on down and dig me jack
There's big moe, little moe, four-eyed moe, no moe,
Look at brother, look at brother, look at brother eat moe
Moe, moe, moe, moe, moe, moe, moe
Who's the greatest band around
Makes the cats jump up and down
Who's the talk of rhythm town
Five guys named moe
When they start to beat it out
Everybody jump and shout
Tell me who do the critics rave about
Five guys named moe
They came out of nowhere
But that don't mean a thing
They rate high and you'll know why
When you hear them sing
High brow, low brow, all agree
They're the best in harmony
I'm telling you folks you just got to see
Five guys named moe
There's big moe...
Little moe...
One guy... big moe
Two guys... little big moe
Three guys... four-eyed moe
Four guys... no moe
Five guys... eat moe
Five little guys named moe

8. _ Jumpin' With Symphony Sid
Jumpin' with my boss sid in the city
Jumpin' with my boss sid in the city
Mr. president of that dj committee
We're gonna be up all night gettin' ready
We want you to spin the sounds from the city
Far down in the land that's real real pretty
Let everything go real crazy over jazz
Make everything go real crazy over jazz
Let everything cool for me and my baby
I don't wanna think we're listening too lazy
It's gotta be pressburg cheering all the basie
It's gotta get it all set right clear on the eighty
Let it roll
Let it roll

Who doubt say, who doubt when i say, who doubt...
You cats keep beetin' up your chops
I had turn you over to the cops
I dig this spiel i'm going way on your gate
Don't cop your broom pop or buddy or mate
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother

You tell everybody i'm busted
You talk so much you got me disgusted
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
Yeh, you run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
You start up telling me you're my pal
End up telling how to handle my gal
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
You run your juicy mouth and i'll run my business brother
You run your juicy mouth and i'll run my business brother
You're always telling me what to do
Saying "i wouldn't do that if i was you"
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
You clamp your liver lips and i'll run my business brother
Just clamp your liver lips and i'll run my business brother
If i follows your advice on how to make dough
I'd been in the jailhouse long ago
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
Yeh, you run your juicy mouth and i'll run my business brother
Just you run your mouth and i'll run my business brother
You tell everybody i'm busted
You talk so much you got me disgusted
You run your mouth and i'll run my business brother

10. _ How Long Must I Wait For You
You told me you would me at the station gate
For our honeymoon excursion
You told me you would me at the station gate
But i got a different version
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
Train number four is gone
Train number five is gone
Train number six is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
I got my tickets and a reservation set for two
Luggage waiting on the track
But i got no use for reservations without you
I got to give the tickets back
Cause train number one is back
Train number two is back
Train number three is been back
How long must i wait for you?
You told me you would me at the station gate
For our honeymoon excursion
You told me you would me at the station gate
But i got a different version
Train number one is gone
Train number two is gone
Train number three is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
Train number four is gone
Train number five is gone
Train number six is been gone
How long must i wait for you?
I got the tickets and a reservation set for two
Luggage waiting on the track
But i got no use for reservations without you
I got to give the tickets back
Cause train number one is back
Train number two is back
Train number three is been back
How long must i wait for you?
How long, baby
How long, baby
How long, how long . . .
How long must i wait for you?

11. _ Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby
I got a gal that's always late
Every time we have a date
But i love her
Yes i love her
I'm gonna walk right up to her gate
And see if i can get it straight
Cause i want her
I'm gonna ask her
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
Yous is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt
Yous is still my baby-baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one
You find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby true?

12. _ What's The Use Of Getting Sober (when You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)
Dv = deep voice, sv = squeaky voice
Dv: boy, you listen to your old pappy
Sv: yeah, pappy
Dv: and stop drinking so much
Sv: i'm-i'm ain't been doing so much drinking, pappy
Dv: shut up, boy! you drink all day and you drink all night and you know, son, that that ain't right
Sv: oh pappy, you just give me a chance. i, i can, i . . .
Dv: shut up, boy! boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig
Sv: i know that . . .
Dv: look likes your dear old pappy - about to blow your wig
Sv: oh i'm gonna blow my wig, pappy
What's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Oh sam done something fine
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
I love my whiskey and i love my gin
Every time you see me i'm in my sin
So what's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Dv:
I went out last night about half past one
Thought i'd whoop it up a little and have some fun
I got me a half pint about half past two
Mmm, mmm, the way i was feeling you know what i wanna do
Got me a pint about half past four
Felt so good, went out and got me some more
Got me a quart about half past five
Boy, that was so nice didn't know if i was dead or alive
So what's the use of getting sober if you're gonna get drunk again
Oh sam done something fine
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
I love my whiskey and i love my gin
Every time you see me i'm in my sin
So what's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Well i've been thinking
But i keep drinking
I guess i'm 'bout lose my mind
