Hi John,

Correctly titles "Jump, Jive An' Wail", this is a song that I fell for over 30 years ago when recorded by Louis Prima. If you like this song, I'd really encourage you to listen to some other songs by Prima, also! (The instrumental breaks on Prima's original version of this song far outshine the re-do, IMO)

JUMP, JIVE AN' WAIL

Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
You better come inside
Let me teach you how to jive and wail

Chorus:
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail

Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Mama's in the backyard learning how to jive and wail

Chorus

A woman is a woman and man ain't nothin' but a male
A woman is a woman and man ain't nothin' but a male
One good thing about him
He knows how jive and wail

Chorus

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jill stayed up she wants to learn how to jive and wail

Chorus
