Jersey Bounce Ella Fitzgerald Words by Robert B. Wright Music by Bobby Plater, Tiny Bradshaw, and Edward Johnson 
(scat intro) They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play 
It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air And now you hear it everywhere 
Uptown, gave it new licks Downtown, added some tricks No town, makes it sound, the same As where it came from 
So if you don’t feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you’re hep or not The Jersey bounce’ll make you swing 
(scat) How I love that Jersey bounce (scat) Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce (scat) 
They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce 
It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air That tune called the Jersey Bounce 
Uptown, gave it new licks Downtown, added some tricks No town, make it sound the same As where it came from 
So if you don’t feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you’re hep or not The Jersey bounce’ll make you swing 
Ounce by ounce The Jersey Bounce 
Puts you right in the swing That Jersey Bounce It’ll make you swing 
Give me that Jersey Bounce.
