Body and Soul Songtext
von Louis Prima

Baby, baby it looks like it′s gonna hail
Baby, baby it looks like it's gonna hail
You better come inside
Let me teach you how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotto jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail

Papa′s in the icebox lookin' for a can of ale
Papa's in the icebox lookin′ for a can of ale
Mama′s in the backyard
Learning how to jive and wail


You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotto jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail

A women is a women and a man ain't nothin′ but a male
A women is a women and a man ain't nothin′ but a male
One good thing about him
He knows how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
You gotta jump, jive and then you wail

Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail
Jill stayed up
She wants to learn how to jive and wail

You gotta jump, jive and then you wail
