Jive After Five:Carl Perkins. #10 on Rocck Charts on COLUMBIA Records in 1958. Intro: #1. 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 gettin' the blues. My friends drop in for sodas and pop, they're all talking, fancy about a new record hop. #2. All day long I'm a-fillin' orders..takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters. Cherry sodas and a chocolate shake, strawberry sundaes and a lemon phosphate. Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five..you know me, dad, after five I jive. I wanna jive, uh-huh-huh-huh, I wanna jive..ooo-hooo-hooo-hooo, I wanna jive, yes, after five. uh-huh-ho-ho, I wanna jive, man alive, after five. #3. Well, I mop the floor and I wipe the counter..I just work here dad, I'm not the founder. I keep a-workin' and a-watchin' the clock..a-peepin' out the window for my baby to stop. We'll head out of town to a little night dive..because you know me dad, after five I jive. #4. All day long I'm a-fillin' orders..takin' in nickels, dimes and quarters. Cherry cokes and a tall root beer, a cone of vanilla with a chocolate spill. Time to clean the fountain, 'cause it's almost five..you know me dad, after five I jive..I wanna jive. I wanna jive, I wanna jive, ooo-hooo-hooo and then I 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. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
