_ _ _ _ _ _ And they just come down off of people's tables, you know, people sitting at tables, and they
hit on the stairs.
_ _ I mean, it's great.
That's great.
The dance hasn't even started yet.
So now once they start the dance, they go into it.
It's very jazzy, I remember.
It's like, da-di-di-di-di-di-di.
It's very jazzy, and they're very relaxed.
They're just dancing, nice and easy, and they're just setting the thing up that they're going
to now dance.
And then when they go over to where the bandstand is, they move over to the bandstand, and as
soon as they jump up there, I mean, now they're painting another picture.
You know, [N] I forget, I think the music at that point was, ba-yi-ah-di-di-di-di-ba-yi-yi.
And they're going, now we're building.
And now they jump off of that, and that's the first time they jump into splits.
And now we haven't even warmed up yet, but they jump off that thing into splits and come up.
Now they go up these stairs, up on a landing there.
And at that point, I thought that this is where the number was going to end, because
it was pretty _
they'd been dancing a while.
Then they jump on a piano top.
And that point, at that point in the number, I think even now, just to show that, where
they jump on that piano top, is _ _ one of the most powerful, it's real power tap dancing.
Because they jump on the piano, and the piano goes, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, and they do
something like, ah, di-di-di-ba, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, ah, di-di-di-ba.
And then, after that, then they jump off the piano.
Now we're jumping from another higher level.
Now it's not just the piano.
Now it's off the piano, they jump into splits. _
So now, they move along, they move out of there, and they move into this area where,
in the back of them, is this big thing.
And at that point, I thought maybe my heart might burst.
Even now, when I see them go in front of that thing, I think to myself, what are they going to do? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
Boy!
What's [Gbm] going to play that gig?
_ [Gb] That [Dbm] gig?
Paula Marshall, Bonnie Shaw.

[E] Boy!
_ [Am] _ [Abm] _ _ _
Now, can't you hear those [Bb] pep-cats call?
[Eb] Come on, boys, let's [E] have a ball.
The Jim-Jim-jumpin', the [Gb] jumpin' jive, [Abm] makes you, your [Gb] jive on the mellow side.
[E] Hep-hep.

_ [Gb] _
The Jim-Jim-jumpin', the silent [Abm] jive, makes you nine foot tall when you're four foot five.
Hep-hep.
[A] _ Head up.
_ [Abm] Now, don't you be that ickle-roo, get hep, come on, and then you follow through.
[Ab] You get your study full, you make a majority jumpin' like a gator [E] stew.
Jim-Jim-jumpin', the jumpin' [Dbm] jive, makes you like your legs on the [Gb] jazzy side.
Hep-hep.
_ _ [E] Head up.
