The Thing Of It Is - New Kinda Jive

Woke up in the morning 'bout a quarter to nine
Lookin' pretty good and I's a-feelin' fine
Just as all the honeybees are leavin' the hive
That's a-when they started up a new kinda jive

Greasin' up their wheels and then they spill it around
Horn aplenty nothin' on the tables abound
Puttin' down their forks and spoons and takin' up knives
Lookin' like they done and got a new kinda jive

New kinda jive, new kinda jive
Everybody's givin' me a new kinda jive
Some days when I'm feelin' like I'm barely alive
That's a when I know I need a new kinda jive

Live a life of leisure when you're workin' so late
Topical discussion's just a messy debate
Married to your baseball cards and tradin' your wives
Everybody cookin' up a new kinda jive

It's a wackadoodle-doo
It's a doodle-doo-or-die
It's a cock-a-doodle-doo
Inventin' a new kinda jive

Sky's a turnin' purple, people runnin' around
Gapin' at the rain until they stood there and drowned
Walkin' 50 miles a-when they coulda done drive
All because they're takin' up a new kinda jive

New kinda jive, new kinda jive
Everybody's givin' me a new kinda jive
Some days when I'm feelin' like I'm barely alive
That's a when I know I need a new kinda jive
