Judy Garland – The Jitterbug

DOROTHY: Did you just hear what I just heard?

LION: That noise don’t come from an ordinary bird.

DOROTHY: It may be just a cricket , or a critter in the trees.

TIN MAN: It’s giving me the jitters, in the joints around the knees.

SCARECROW: I think I see a jijikin, and he’s fuzzy and he’s furry.

I haven’t got a brain but I think I ought to worry.

TIN MAN: I haven’t got a heart, but I got a palpitation.

LION: As Monarch of the forest, I don’t like the sitchy-ation

DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror?

LION: I’d like to roar him down, but I think I lost my roarer.

TIN MAN: It’s a whozis.

SCARECROW: It’s a whozis?

LION: It’s a whatzis.

SCARECROW: It’s a whatzis?

TIN MAN: Whozat?

SCARECROW: Whozat?

LION: Whozat?

ALL THREE: Whozat?

DOROTHY (singing chorus):

Who’s that hiding,

In the tree tops?

It’s that rascal

The Jitterbug.

Should you catch him

Buzzin’ round you,

Keep away from

The Jitterbug.

Oh, the bees in the breeze

And the bats in the trees

Have a terrible, horrible buzz.

But the bees in the breeze

And the bats in the trees

Couldn’t do what the Jitterbug does.

So be careful

Of that rascal

Keep away from

The Jitterbug!

The Jitterbug!

Oh, The Jitter.

Oh, The Bug.

Oh, The Jitterbug.

[scat]

In the twitter,

In the throws

Oh, the critter’s got me

dancin on a thousand toes.

There she blows!

Hey, Who’s that hiding,

In the tree tops?

It’s that rascal

The Jitterbug.

Should you catch him

Buzzin’ round you,

Keep away from

The Jitterbug.

Oh, the bats and the bees

And the breeze in the trees

Have a terrible, horrible buzz.

But the bats and the bees

And the breeze in the trees

Couldn’t do what the Jitterbug does.

So be so careful

Of that rascal

Keep away from

The Jitterbug!

The Jitterbug!

The Jitterbug!
