Transcribed from vocals by Taft Jordan with Chick Webb and His Orchestra, recorded May 9, 1934,
From Chick Webb and His Orchestra, 1929-1934, Chronological Classics 502.

Oh baby, let's have a party,
Let's have a party,
Let's all begin;
Let's all begin;
You bring the women,
You bring the women.
And I'll bring the gin.
I'll bring the gin.

Let's go for a ride,
Let's go for a ride,
Ain't going far,
Ain't going far,
You fix the blow-out,
You fix the blow-out,
Boy, and I'll drive the car.
I'll drive the car.

Oh, zaz-zoo-zoo,
Oh, zaz-zoo-zoo,
Oh, zoo-zaz,
Oh, zoo-zaz,
Oh, zaz-zoo,
Oh, zaz-zoo,
[Scatting]

I can't dance,
I can't dance.
Got ants in my pants,
Got ants in my pants.
I can't dance,
I can't dance,
Got ants in my pants!

Boys, I can't dance,
I got ants in my pants.
Oh, man, Chick can't dance.
Why?
He's got ants in his pants.

Steve Goodman, who also did my favorite version of the water is wide, opened it with

let's have a party
have it right here
You bring the whiskey
And I'll bring the beer


I love the zaz and zoo parts!
