Did you just hear what I just heard?
That noise don't come from an ordinary bird
It may be just a cricket or a critter in the trees
It's giving me the jitters in the joints around the knees

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
I haven't got a heart but I've got a palpitation
As monarch of the forest, I don't like the situation

Are you gonna stand around and let him fill us full of horror?
I'd like to roar him down but I think I've lost my roarer

It's a whozis
It's a whosis?
It's a whatzis
It's a whatzis?

Whozat?
Whozat?
Whozat?
Whozat?

Who's that hiding in the tree tops?
It's that rascal, the jitterbug
Should you catch him buzzin' round you?
Keep away from the jitterbug

Oh, the bees and the breeze and the bats in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz
But the bees and 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
The jitterbug

Oh the jitter
Oh the bug
Oh the jitterbug

In the twitter, in the throes
All the critters
Got me dancing on a thousand toes
Now she blows

Hey, who's that hiding in the tree tops?
It's that rascal, the jitterbug
Should you catch him buzzin' round you
Keep away from the jitterbug

Oh, the bats and the bees
And the breeze in the trees
Have a terrible, horrible buzz
But the bees and the breeze
And the bats in the trees
Couldn't do what the jitterbug does

So be so careful of that rascal
Keep away from the jitterbug

The jitterbug
Jitterbug
