Lyrics[]

Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at

Shake your hands in the air
Now put them in your pockets if you have some there
Maybe you can jump up high
Fly around like a bird in the sky

Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at
Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at

See if you can wiggle you toes
Jump around & shake your clothes
Shake your head so your hair sticks out
Turn around & give a great big shout
One, two, three, yoh!

Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at
Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at

Shake your hands in the air (that's it)
Now put them in your pockets if you have some there
Maybe you can jump up high
Fly around like a bird in the sky

Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at
Yumbo yumbo jive
A mighty fine day to be alive
Jump back
Jump back Jack
Yumbo jiving is where it's at
