Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bad luck baby put the jinx on me

I got the heeby-jeebies and I can't get well

I got the heeby-jeebies and it's you I got to tell

If I can't find my baby then you know darn well

I'm gonna ring your door till I break your bell

[Verse 2]

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Got my bad luck baby put the jinx on me

[Verse 3]

I got the heeby-jeebies, 'cause I love you so

I got the heeby-jeebies, why you have to go?

If you don't want me darlin' just let me know

Then I won't be a fool over you no more

[Verse 4]

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

You goin' jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Goin' jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Got my bad luck baby put the jinx on me

[Verse 5]

I got the heeby-jeebies and I feel so sad

I got the heeby-jeebies, why you make me mad?

If you open the door and let me in

Then I won't say you put the jinx on me again

[Verse 6]

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Goin' jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Goin' get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Goin' jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Got my bad luck baby put the jinx on me, whoa

[Verse 7]

I got the heeby-jeebies, 'cause I love you so

I got the heeby-jeebies, why you have to go?

If you don't want me darlin' just let me know

Then I won't be a fool over you no more

[Verse 8]

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

Got my bad luck baby put the jinx on me

[Verse 9]

I got the heeby-jeebies, 'cause I love you so sad

I got the heeby-jeebies, why you make me mad

If you open the door and let me in

Then I won't say you put the jinx on me again

[Verse 10]

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta get back, get back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

You gotta jump back, jump back, heeby-jeebies

Got my bad luck baby put the jinx on me
