John Worthan - The Cats Were Jumpin'

THE CATS WERE JUMPIN'
(Riley)
JOHN WORTHAN (PEACH 722, 1959)

Well, the cats was a-jumpin in the barn last night
You oughta been there, it was a real gone sight
Sister Kate was a-jumpin' with Mary Lou
It made me feel so good, I started a-jumpin' too
Well, the cats was a-jumpin' all over the place
Well, this rock 'n' roll music, ready to soothe my days
(Yeah now, let's jump around)

My blond headed baby in the middle of the floor
Jivin' and a-shakin', couldn't jump no more
Somebody in the corner done slammed the door
And then my baby started jumpin' some more
Well, the cats was a-jumpin' all over the place
Well, this rock 'n' roll music, ready to soothe my days
(Yeah now, let's jump around)

Well, we jumped around till the break of dawn
The cats scoot out and they all went home
Left me standing in the middle of the barn
Couldn't keep 'em down with all of that a-fun
we had jumpin' all over the place
Well, this rock 'n' roll music, ready to soothe my days
(Yeah now, let's jump around, yeah!)

I said jump-jump, jump around
Yeah, jump-jump, all around
Oooh, jump-jump, all around
Yeah, jump-jump, all around
Oooh, jump-jump, all over the place
