Heebie Jeebies

Ethel Waters

Compositor: Boyd Atkins / Ralph Shrimp Jones

Say, I've got the heebies,
I mean the jeebies,
Talking about
The dance, the heebie jeebies,
Do, because they're boys,
Because it pleases me to be joy!

Say, don't you know it?
You don't know how, don't be blue,
Someone will teach you;
Come on, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Yes, ma'am,
Papa's got the heebie jeebies dance!

Skatting...

Say, come on, now, and do that dance,
They call the heebie jeebies dance,
Sweet mama!
Papa's got to do the heebie jeebies dance!

Spoken:

Wooh! Got the heebie jeebies!
Whatcha doin' with the heebies?
I just have to have the heebies!
