Summer Jive Lyrics

A jump, a jump, a jump.
A turning around and then.
A jump, a jump, a jump.
Then do the summer jive!

CHORUS
Rollerblade!
Star jump!
Dive bomb!
Stargaze!
Fly a kite!

A hop, a hop, a hop.
A turning around and then.
A hop, a hop, a hop.
Then do the summer jive!

CHORUS

A shake, a shake, a shake.
A turning around and then.
A shake, a shake, a shake.
Then do the summer jive!
