The Jitterbug
Lyrics:E.Yip Harburg Music:Harold Arlen
DOROTHY:Did you just hear what I just heard?
LION:That noise don't come from no ordinary bird.
DOROTHY:It may be just a cricket , or a critter in the trees.
TIN MAN: It's giving me the jitters, in the joints around my knees.
SCARECROW: I think I see a jijik, and he's fuzzy and he's furry.
I haven't got a brain but I think I ought to worry.
TIN MAN: I haven't got a heart, but I got a palpitation.
LION: As Monarch of the forest, I don't like the sitchy-ation
DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror?
LION: I'd like to roar him down, but I think I lost my roarer.
TIN MAN: It's a whozis.
SCARECROW: It's a whosis?
LION: It's a whatzis.
SCARECROW: It's a whatzis?
TIN MAN: Whozat?
LION: Whozat?
DOROTHY (singing chorus):
Who's that hiding,
In the tree top?
It's that rascal
The Jitterbug.
Should you catch him buzzin' round you,
Just look out for the Jitterbug.
Oh, the bees in the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz.
But the bees in the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the Jitterbug does.
So be careful Of that rascal
Keep away from
The Jitterbug!
