(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 it's 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 [instrumental]
