Lyrics The Call of the Jitterbug - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

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
Now you're drinking jitter sauce!
And don't you worry, you just mug
You'll always be a jitter bug!

Now that's the kid playing his horn
He's been a bug since he was born
His favorite jitter sauce is rye
I swear, he'll drink it 'til the day he die!
Toot your whistle, blow that horn
Ooh, Lord, a star is born!
Don't you worry, you just mug
You'll always be a jitter bug!

Now there those cats playing saxophone
They order sauce by the phone
Central, give me 4-9-4
I think these bugs could drink some more
Drinkin' morning, noon and night
Will not stop until they're tight
Don't you worry, they just mug
They're poor little jitter bugs!

Now Alley Cat, he's a swingin' man
He drinks more sauce than most bugs can
He drinks his 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 on brother, 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 gets his fill of beer
Rip drinks his drink, gets on the stand
Soon forgets that he's in the band
Don't you wake him, let him mug
You'll always be a jitter bug!

Calling all jitterbugs!
Calling all jitterbugs!
