Ella Fitzgerald - I'm just a Jitterbug

Tekst piosenki:


I'm just a jitterbug,
A happy jitterbug,
A little jitterbug lookin' for a place to jive.
I'm not a corny hick,
I know a real hot lick,
'Cause I'm a jitterbug, mighty glad that I'm alive!

Give me a solid ascender,
Not just an elbow bender!
Don't want no old time jazz,
No razzamataz, just swing!

'Cause I'm just a jitterbug,
A happy jitterbug,
A little jitter jitter jitterbug lookin' for a place to jive.

The trumpet's goin' crazy,
Say, he is a torrid cat!
He sure can swing a-plenty
When he's blowin' through his hat!

Just listen to that gentleman,
He's gettin' awful licks!
Sure, when that baby goes to town
He sure is mighty slick!

And now, a-listen folks and you will hear
The drummer of the band;
Now I know that he's a drummer
By that drumstick in his hand!

So gather round me, all you cats,
Let each man di his part;
Come on, you leader, beat it all,
The jammin's gonna start!
