Back in the sixties they were twistin'
The seventies brought disco alive
And long ago, dad and mom were having big fun
Just rockin' and a-rollin' in the age of the jive
So if you got a steamin' feelin' down in your shoes
Here's what you do
We'll find you jitterbuggin' all through the night
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight
We're going jitterbuggin' till morning light
We're all jitterbuggin' tonight
Hey Mr. Size, don't you realize
That you only get to live your life once? (Jitterbuggin')
No use in staying after lunch, just roll with thе punch
There ain't no time for walking еvery day as a dance
So if you got a steamin' feelin' down in your shoes
Here's what you do
We'll find you jitterbuggin' all through the night (jitterbuggin')
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight (every night)
We're going jitterbuggin' till morning light (jitterbuggin')
We're all jitterbuggin' tonight (doin' it right)
Let's see you smokin' with your own interpretation
Dance with the rhythm of the street in your life
Didn't have the changes at all
The peak is burning on high
[Synth solo]
Jitterbuggin'
So if you got a steamin' feelin' down in your shoes
Here's what you do
We'll find you jitterbuggin' all through the night (jitterbuggin')
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight (every night)
We're going jitterbuggin' till morning light (jitterbuggin')
We're all jitterbuggin' tonight (doin' it right)
Let's see you smokin' with your own interpretation
Dance with the rhythm of the street in your life
Didn't have the changes through the years
The peak is burning on fire
I get the weekend feeling every night
Just getting down before we get old (jitterbuggin')
We're gonna dance till the dawn, come back for some more
And no one gonna stop us 'cause we're ready to go
So if you got a steamin' feelin' down in your shoes
Here's what you do
We'll find you jitterbuggin' all through the night (jitterbuggin')
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight (every night)
(Jitterbuggin')
We're going jitterbuggin' till morning light (jitterbuggin')
We're all jitterbuggin' tonight (doin' it right)
Jitterbuggin' all through the night (jitterbuggin')
(Let's see you funkin', baby, yeah)
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight (every night)
We're going jitterbuggin' till morning light (jitterbuggin')
We're all jitterbuggin' tonight (doin' it right)
(Mama did it, papa did it, everybody's doin' it)
Jitterbuggin' all through the night (jitterbuggin')
Come out jitterbuggin' tonight (every night)
