Jivin’ Lyrics by Roger Chapman

Walking the Cat

0

Now the juke-joint's jumping, Baby's on the scene
Pumping all your money in the record machine
You take her jiving, jiving, it ain't sophisticated
Jiving, jiving, ain't even complicated
All you stand to lose is your all-day-working blues
When you're jiving, jiving
Well now you're skipping, double dipping and the music's
Getting loud
Baby's really showing her suspenders to the crowd
Call it jiving, jiving, just keep a-rocking steady
Jiving, jiving, you know you're ready Teddy
Bumping and a-jumping, Baby Baby's really something
When you're jiving, jiving
Jiving, jiving, tight pants and creepers
When you're jiving, jiving, you won't believe your peepers
Petticoats and hose, ponytails and bows
When you're jiving, jiving
Well, I'll take you to a movie, Baby, any time you like
But tonight you'd better know it, when I get you on my bike
We've going jiving, jiving, your Mama's cool about it
Jiving, jiving, she's a fool about it
When the day is done, she and Papa get it on
And they go jiving, jiving
Jiving, jiving, around the kitchen table
Jiving, jiving, your Papa's really able
Jiving, jiving, your Mama's 1!ying now
Jiving, jiving, and your Daddy's trying now
Diving to the ground swinging Mama all around
And it's jiving, jiving
Jiving, jiving, tight pants and creepers
When you're jiving, jiving, you won't believe your peepers
Petticoats and hose, ponytails and bows
When you're jiving, jiving
Well I bumped into the Preacher, but he said he couldn't stop
He was late for an appointment at the local record hop
He's going jiving, jiving
A celebration
They'll be jiving, jiving
A rocking congregation
Say you'll be my wife I'll keep you happy all your life
I'll take you jiving, jiving
Jiving, jiving, tight pants and creepers
When you're jiving, jiving, you won't believe your peepers
Petticoats and hose, ponytails and bows
When you're jiving, jiving
Now the juke-joint's jumping, Baby's on the scene
Pumping all your money in the record machine
You take her jiving, jiving, it ain't sophisticated
Jiving, jiving, ain't even complicated
All you stand to lose is your all-day-working blues
When you're jiving, jiving
