Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Time and time waits for no man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Standing on a corner
All full of jive
But you know that you're my boy
_So I'm forced to give you five_

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Time and time waits for no man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Standing on a corner
All full of jive
But you know that you're my boy
_So I'm forced to give you five_

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time to shake your hand

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket
Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket

Hit that jive Jack
Put it in your pocket till I get back
Going downtown to see a man
And I ain't got time

I ain't got time, I ain't got time
I ain't got time to shake your hands
Won't you put it in your pocket till I get back

Hit that jive Jack

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
