Oh yes indeed
While I'm here, let me hit you, yes indeed
Ah, hit me, do that to me
When that jive starts jumpin'

For I'm in there, I'm in there, yes indeed

Now, brother Chowderhead ,he got it in him, yes indeed
Oh boy, you can say that again!
He digs deep in the middle, yes indeed
Oh, yes indeedy
How he blows his top when, when he rips hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Oh, dig it out on your horn there, brother Chowderhead
Dig it for me

It comes out if it's in you, yes indeed
Oh, yes indeed
When you jump, for it's in you, yes indeed
When that feeling's on you, you shout hallelujah!
When it hits you, you holla, yes indeed
