Jump Jim Crow, jump Jim Crow   How do you do, you walk so slow   Like a little red rooster with one trick leg   Looks like you the one laying the egg   I don't know when but it'll be real soon   Going down the road by the light of the moon   Going to the city to see Zip Coon      Hip Zip Coon, you sure look slick   How do you do that walking trick   You got a woman on your left   A woman on your right   You all dressed up like a Saturday night   Strolling down the street, feeling fine   Tipping your hat, saying, "Howdy, Shine"   If I knew your secret I would make it mine      Tarbaby, Tarbaby, tell me true   Who is really the jigaboo?   Is it the white man, the white talking that jive   Or the black man, the black, trying to stay alive?   You can't touch a Tarbaby, everybody knows   Smiling all the while wit de bone in de nose   That's the way the story goes      Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-aye   My, oh my, what a wonderful day   Plenty of sunshine heading my way   Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-aye
