You thought you'd hit the life when your friend said hey Wanna make it rich, lemme show you the way. It's a business, see, with a variation; our prominent trade is inebriation You took a taste and your eyes caught fire Your head said more and dove in the mire You leaned in his ear and whispered "guv, Gimme someadat, someadat someadat jitterbug luv" You hit the alley then, you were making a name And you struck black gold as you began the game Every fool at your feet shot you a laugh And you chuckled back before you cut 'em in half But every day, the cloud on you grew Your thirst was always one up on you\ On hands and knees, you went beggin "dove, I need someadat, someadat, someadat Jitterbug Luv" Your crew of clients left you overboard And while you rusted picked apart your hoard You swept the rest, threw it in a glass Then chugged it back and feel on your ass With ten bucks left, smelling of death You called Gods & Kings to help you catch your breath When they slammed their doors, you cried "They can shove- All I need's, all I need's, all I need's some Jitterbug Luv" Wrecked on the floor, you had a second thought Perhaps you had a chance to reverse the rot You gave the bottle a rest, drew up a jive And two weeks hence you were fully alive Then your friend returned and forced your life to crash "Sorry, son, but your dreams cost cash" You struggled and roared, caught in his glove "You're gonna work, gonna work, gonna work for the Jitterbug Luv" You were stumblin' today on the railroad track Turnin' heads and tricks without lookin' back Your heart asked "what's wrong?" and you screamed at it "Guv, I'm in a bottle of, bottle of, bottle of Jitterbug Luv"
