Doin' The Jive

Glenn Miller · On The Sentimental Side [2001]

You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the susie q

Mix in a step or two

Put 'em all together

And you're doin the jive



Oh you stomp your feet

You swing out wide

Mess around awhile

Shake it boogie woogie style

Everybody's swinging when you doin the jive



If you can't play Romeo or ?

Don't let it bother you

Cause you'll be the King

When the band begins to swing

You'll be a smarty & the life of the party

If you do bump

And you swing out wide

Drop a little bit

Beat it out

Make a fit

Everybody's happy when you're doin the jive



It may be somethin' but it's not the jive

It may be somethin' but it's not the jive

Well what is the jive?

(more spoken)



You clap your hands

And you swing out wide

Do the susie q

Mix in a step or two

Put it all all together

And you're doin the jive



Oh you stomp your feet

And you swing out wide

Mess around awhile

Shake it boogie woogie style

Everybody's swinging when you doin the jive



If you can't play Romeo or ?

Don't let it bother you

Cause you'll be the King

When the band begins to swing

You'll be a smarty & the life of the party

If you do a bump

And you swing out wide

Drop a little bit

Beat it out &

Make a fit

Everybody's happy when you're doin the jive
