Doug The Jitterbug (03-29-39) - Louis Jordan

Doug the Jitterbug

Just a silly lug

Young and wild with lots of style

That’s Doug the Jitterbug

Just a crazy mug

Drinks liquor by the jug

He’s alive with lots of jive

Doug the Jitterbug

They threw him out of school

'Cause all he learned was Tiger Rag

He never knew the golden rule

But boy, how he can shag

Doug the Jitterbug

Cuts a wicked rug

It ain’t no shame, he’s not to blame

He’s Doug the Jitterbug

He studied to be a lawyer

But he never got a case

Every time they’d look for that cat in court

He’d be doing the pantywaist

Let’s talk about Doug the Jitterbug

Cuts a wicked rug

It ain’t no shame, he’s not to blame

He’s Doug the Jitterbug
