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

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 away!

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

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 away!

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

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

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 away!

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 away!

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 away!

You gotta jump, jive...
You gotta jump, jive...
You gotta jump, jive...

So...drunk driving whales?  You can say it's not, but the next song is "Belly of the Whale" by Burning Sensations, so obviously a whale theme. 

I accept your apology.




How did you know?! I'm listening to RP right now, it is April 21 2022, and right after Brian Setzer Orchestra, they're playing Belly Of The Whale by Burning Sensations... is it like Matrix bug or something?

Saw these guys live at a small club in Indianapolis back in 1996 or 1997 - hadn't even heard of them before that night. (Although I was definitely familiar with the Stray Cats.) By far one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. Setzer was SO entertaining, wearing a red zoot suit with black tiger stripes, and pulling out his comb and slicking back his hair in true rockabilly fashion  - and the band was so tight and amazing. Love them, and love this song!
 
Yup -pretty rare to find someone who can sing and wail the axe at the same time.

....Great guitar player on a great song (not to mention he is always seen around Kool Cars) = go daddy-O

At the lower volume I am at currently and even though I know the song well, Brian could easily be misunderstood to say, "Drunk drive and then you wail away..."

Sounds like they are singing "Drunkin' drivin' then your going to jail"

An excellent version. Maybe better than the Louie Prima version that I'm used to, but I've still got a soft spot for anything by Louie Prima.
