Lyrics
WHEN THE JITTERBUG BITES
What?cha gonna do when he lands on you
And starts to stingin? Saint Vitis, boogietis ? Now you?re swingin?
When the honeybees are sleepin? in their hive
That?s when that little critter comes alive
Chorus
When the jitterbug bites ? and you start to itchin?
And the mood is right and the night?s bewitchin?
You feel like dancin? till the morning light
When the jitterbug bites ? when the jitterbug bites
Bandstand burnin? to a fever pitch ? Can you hear him buzzin?
Saxophone screamin? to a beat so steamin?
And the joint is jumpin? ? When you think you just can?t take it anymore
Look who?s back out tearin? up the floor
Chorus
Now you swingin? ? go cat go Really rockin? ? ?hi dee ho? ? Hep-a-demic breakin? nationwide
Chorus
When the jitterbug bites ? when the jitterbug bites
When the jitterbug bites ? when the jitterbug bites ? When the jitterbug bites
