Put the kettle on, clear the floor
Grandma's tappin' by the pantry door
Dad's got socks that slide just right
Mom's got cocoa and a twinkle light
Kids in jammies, pets in tow
The radio's playing that holiday glow
Snap that beat, let the brass arrive—
It's time to swing with the Jingle Jive!
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
Shake your hips and come alive!
Spin that spoon, stomp that floor
Slide across the kitchen door
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
We're cookin' joy and feelin' five!
One, two, three, now jump and dive—
Into the groove of the Jingle Jive!
Uncle Joe's got a trumpet grin
Auntie Lou's got a tambourine spin
The fridge light flickers like a disco ball
And the dog's got rhythm in the hallway hall
"What's that sound?"
"It's the jingle beat!"
"Where's the party?"
"On our dancing feet!"
"Who's invited?"
"Everyone's in line!"
"What's the password?"
"Jingle Jive time!"
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
Shake your hips and come alive!
Spin that spoon, stomp that floor
Slide across the kitchen door
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
We're cookin' joy and feelin' five!
One, two, three, now jump and dive—
Into the groove of the Jingle Jive!
Cookies cooling, candles glow
Snowflakes tapping on the window
We're all here, from young to wise
Snappin' to the beat of the Jingle Jive
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
Shake your hips and come alive!
Spin that spoon, stomp that floor
Slide across the kitchen door
Jingle Jive, jingle jive
We're cookin' joy and feelin' five!
One, two, three, now jump and dive—
Into the groove of the Jingle Jive!
"Same time next year?"
"Same kitchen, same cheer!"
