Lyrics
Now girls be careful
Get you an earful
These cats are always
Shuckin' and jivin'
Don't have no boyfriend
Who's cash you can't spend
Or they will trick you
Shuckin', jivin'
Now, Eve tricked Adam with one red apple
You know that man's a square
I need a Cadillac car and a little caviar
For me to make believe I care
Now here's what you do
Let him you know you know too
Or they will trick you
Shuckin' and jivin'
Now, get a man that's gold whether he's young or old
Then you'll be doing alright
A great big estate, a zillionaire for a mate
For him to put right at your feet
So, here's what you do
Let him know that you know too
Or they will trick you
Shuckin' and jivin'
Or they will trick you
Shuckin' and jivin'
