Jive After Five (Remaster) - Carl Perkins
Written by:Carl Perkins
I work all day as a soda jerk
On my feet all the time and oh man how they hurt
Don't make much but I sure get the news
I don't have much time for getting the blues
My friends drop in for sodas and pop
There'll all talking fancy about a new record hop
All day long I'm a filling orders
Taking in nickels dimes and quarters
Cherry sodas and a chocolate shake
Strawberry sundaes and a lemon fast fake
Time to clean the fountain 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad after five I jive
I wanna jive ah ah ah I wanna jive
Ooh ooh ooh I wanna jive yes after five
Oh oh oh I wanna jive man alive after five
Well I mop the floor and I wipe the counter
Just work here dad I'm not the founder
I keep a working and a watching the clock
A peeping out the window for my baby to stop
We'll head out of town for a little night dive
Because you know me dad after five I jive
All day long I'm a filling orders
Taking in nickels dimes and quarters
Cherry cokes and tariff bill
A cone of vanilla with a chocolate's fill
Time to clean the fountain 'cause it's almost five
You know me dad after five I jive
I wanna jive I wanna jive
Ooh ooh ooh ooh and then we jive
Yeah I wanna jive yes man alive
Come on now cat let's jive
Everybody rock I wanna jive
Ah ah ah I wanna jive
Ooh ooh ooh I wanna jive
Yes I wanna jive
Man alive I wanna jive
Jive jive after five
