The Jitterbug Lyrics

DOROTHY: Did you just hear what I just heard?
SCARECROW: That noise didn't come from an ordinary bird
DOROTHY: It may be just a cricket or a critter in the trees
TINMAN: It's giving me the jitters in the joints around my knees
LION: I think I see a shadow and it's fuzzy and it's furry
SCARECROW: I havn't got a brain but I think I ought to worry
TIMAN: I havn't got a heart but I feel a palpatation
Lion: As monarch of the forest I don't like the situation
DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let them fill us full of horror? (to lion)
Lion: I'd like to roar them down... But I think I lost my roarer


SCARECROW: It's a whosis!
LION: It's a whosis?
TINMAN: It's a whatsits!
LION: It's a whatsits?
SCARECROW: Who's that?
TINMAN: Who's there?
LION: Who's where?
LION/TINMAN/SCARECROW: Beware!!!

DOROTHY: Who's that hiding in the tree tops?
It's that rascal
The jitterbug!
Should you catch him
buzzing 'round you?
Keep away from
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 jitter bug does.
So just be careful of that rascal
keep away from
The Jitterbug!
The Jitterbug!

SCARECROW/LION/TINMAN/DOROTHY:
Oh, the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees
Have a terrible horrible buz
But the bees in the breeze and the bats in the trees
couldnt do what the jitterbug does.

DOROTHY: So be careful of the rascal
Keep away from
DOROTHY/TINMAN/LION/SCARECROW:
THE JITTERBUG!
THE JITTERBUG!
THE JITTERBUG!
THE JITTERBUG!

(Instrumental)

TIN/SCARE/LION/DOT:
Oh the jitter!
Oh the bug!
Oh the jitterbut doowa doowa doowa doowa doowa
I'm a twitter
In the throws
Oh the critter's got me dancing
on a thousand toes
THAR SHE BLOWS!

TIN/SCARE/LION/DOT/JITTERBUGS:
Dididit dididit dididit dididit dididit dididit didit!
(X4)

Who's the hi-hi-hiding
In the tree-hee-hee tops?
It's that rascal the jitterbug, jitterbug, jitterbug!
Should you ca-ya-yatch him
buzzing rou-rou-round you
Keep away from the jitterbut(X3)

JITTERBUGS:
Oh, the bees, breeze, bats trees
Have a terrible horrible buzz
But the bees breeze bats trees
couldnt do what the jitter bug
do what the jitterbug
do what the jitter bug does

LION/TIN/SCARECROW/DOT/JITTERBUGS:
So be careful of that rascal
keep away from
The jitterbug(X5)
