(Boo wah, boo wah)
It's a lonely tune
(Boo wah, boo wah)
You can swing it, too
(Boo wah, boo wah, boo wah)
You can chime in on the, jive, jive, jive
(Boo wah, boo wah)
It's a simple rift
(Boo wah, boo wah)
Oh, with an easy lift
(Boo wah, boo wah, boo wah)
That's the rhythm of the jive, jive, jive
You have to fix its tempo
Oh, don't let it get slow
Beat on out on that jive, Joe
Stop
Start the jive again
(Boo wah, boo wah)
Now you've got the stride
(Boo wah, boo wah)
Oh, you can really ride
(Boo wah, boo wah, boo wah)
That's the secret of the jive, jive, jive
