Jailbird Joe was sitting high
Eighteen miles above the sky
Three quarts of beer and a jug of wine
C'mon baby won't you see me jump
C'mon baby won't you watch me jump
??
I get my kicks on the mellow side

Now look, don't you be no ickaroo
Oh baby you're just a fool
Do me like you used to do
C'mon, jive me mama like you used to do
I get my kicks on the mellow side
(scat singing)
Jive me mama like you used to do
I get my kicks on the mellow side
Na na na
