CONNIE BOSWELL:
Now, I been having 'em, been having 'em all day long
I've got the heebies, but I can't go wrong
'Cos when I got 'em, I just roll along
Listen everybody while I sing this song
I'm singin' 'bout that dance that makes you shake your shoes
That dance that gives you folks the heebie jeebie blues
It's called the heebie jeebie dance, wah-la-la-la-loo
It's called the heebie jeebie dance

BOSWELL SISTERS:
Oh, I've got the heebies
Got the heebie jeebies
I'm talkin' about
Got the heebie jeebie blues
Sweet ??????? (corlevent [sic])
Come on now, just a little bit o' joy 
Said, babe, don't ya know it
Come on and show it
And we don't feel blue
Say, come on down and do that dance
Called the heebie, heebie jeebie dance
Called the heebie jeebie dance
Oh, skee, skat
(Skat Singing)
Baby, don't ya know it
Come on and show it
And we don't feel blue
Say, come on down and do that dance
Called the heebie jeebie dance, young man
Called the heebie jeebie dance

CONIE BOSWELL:
I've got the heebie jeebies
What'ya doin' with the jeebies
Said I got those heebies
BOSWELL SISTERS:
Wab-bob-bom-wah-wob-bob-bom-waaaaaaaaah!
