Don't Try Your Jive On Me
Composer(s): Leonard Feather - Edgar Sampson
Performer(s): Fats Waller; Una Mae Carlisle



You tell me you love me only
Say you're feeling so lonely
But I know you're lyin'
That's why I'm cryin'
Now, don't you try your jive on me

Oh, you asked me a whole gang of questions
You make all kinds of suggestions
If only you meant it
I wouldn't resent it
But don't try your jive on me

All night long you hang around
Can't you see you bring me down?
Yes, yes!

I know that you think you're a sender
You'll never make me surrender
In fact you don't rate
I'm telling you, gate
Now don't try your jive on me!

Bring it on out!
Bring 'em some jive!
Yes! Yes!

You don't rate
I'm tellin' you, gate
Don't try your jive on me
No, no, no, no
Don't try your jive on me!
