Jack is Back

Artist: The Clan

Album: Afro Cubano

Song Length: 3:14

George's Thoughts: A favorite Jive song. This song takes so many different aspects of dance music -- big band, Latin, beebop, even a bit of rap -- and puts them together masterfully to make one of the most danceable Jive pieces I've heard. The dance floor always fills up when this comes on, so I know I'm not the only one who finds it charming.

Song Lyrics:

Jack is back
Jack is back

[Chorus:]
Walk, walk, walk, dubi doo dub
Jack is back, and he's on top
Walk, walk, walk, dubi dee dub
Watch the girls, see how they drop

[repeat chorus]

I gotta man whose name is Jack
And I don't know when he's coming back
'Cause every time he goes away
I beg him, Baby, please please stay

I know that he's a scary man
The only guy who really can
Make all the girls drop to their knees
And the fellas pay their fees

[chorus]

[musical bridge]

My baby Jack he's the coolest cat
Six feet ten without his hat
No need to say that he looks fine
My mama's proud that he is mine

I know that he's a scary man
The only guy who really can
Make all the girls drop to their knees
And the fellas pay their fees

[chorus]

[musical bridge]

Jack is back
Jack is back
Jack is back
Watch the girls, see how they drop

[chorus]

Jack is back
