[Verse 1]
He's a young whipper snapper
He's a jukebox jitterbug
He's a young whipper snapper
He's a jukebox jitterbug
He's a toe-tappin', knee slappin', hand clappin'
He's a cutter-up
[Verse 2]
He plays every record
On the record stack
He plays every record
On the record stack
He's a flip-floppin', finger-poppin'
Jukebox maniac
[Verse 3]
Now, one thin dime, drop it in the hole
Push number nine, then we rock 'n' roll
He's a young whipper snapper
He's a jukebox jitterbug
He's a toe-tappin', knee slappin', hand clappin'
He's a cutter-up
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 4]
When he calls me on the phone
I have to get up and run
When he calls me on the phone
I have to get up and run
To that head-shakin', law-breakin', noise-makin'
Sucker for a gun
[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, uh-huh-huh
