There's no one in the house- it's quiet as a mouse
But eight o'clock they will all be home
Our Momma isn't well- she hasn't been herself
Forgetting things she's always known
Well tonight she's gonna dance, tonight she's gonna sing
Little Momma's gotta shake it, we're gonna get you back into the swing
Let's get jigorous- jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the
Swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life that's all around us
Jigorous- jigorous
Get livin' dangerous cause there's
Only so much more daylight
So today will have to cheat its way into tonight
The family loves to dance- we seize on any chance
To kick up our heels and cut a rug
Tom and Linny rhumba, & me and Megan waltz
Lookit Ma & Johnny jitterbug!
You could say it doesn't help her, it's only just a dance
But when you have a partner, you always have a chance- so let's get
Let's get jigorous- jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the
Swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life that's all around us
Jigorous- jigorous
Get livin' dangerous cause there's
Only so much more daylight
So today will have to cheat its way into tonight
Jig, jig, everybody- jig jig hand in hand
Jig jig for the love of each pair of feet in the land
Reach out for a partner- grab on, do-si-do
Find you one who won't let go, find you one who won't let go
I got one who won't let go
INSTRUMENTAL
Stealthily I creep- the nurse says she's asleep
I sit on the bed & watch her breathe
Cause when she comes awake- she'll say it's a mistake:
"I don't belong here, son, let's leave!"
Well momma isn't sure of her way from here to there
Like all of us she tries to be brave but she's scared
But when she hears a song that she thinks she's heard before
She reaches for her Partner, and heads out to the floor
She says: Let's get- c'mon now, let's get
Let's get jigorous- jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the
Swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life that's all around us
Jigorous- jigorous
Get livin' dangerous cause I want to deserve this light
That's shinin' down on us
Jigorous (jigorous)- jigorous (jigorous)
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the
Swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life that's all around us
Jigorous- jigorous, ain't it fabulous, cause I'm
Bathin' in the warmest light
And today is gonna cheat its way into tonight
