Some people be what they be
While others do what they do
But if you’re askin’ for praise
Y’know it’ll fall right through

‘Cause he’s a real Jiver
Got you believin’ that you’re a risk taker

But once you’ve given him a dime
He’ll be quick on your heels
‘Cause he’s a sly Jiver

Well, you’re walkin’ down the street
Without a worry in your mind
Y’know that fellow will slow on by

‘Cause he’s a smooth talker
Got you thinkin’ that you’re a risk taker

But once you’ve given him a dime
He’ll be quick on your heels
‘Cause he’s a sly Jiver

Some people be what they be
While others do what they do
But if you’re askin’ for praise
Y’know it’ll fall right through

‘Cause he’s a real Jiver
Got you believin’ that you’re a risk taker

But once you’ve given him a dime
He’ll be quick on your heels
‘Cause he’s a sly Jiver

But once you’ve given him a dime
He’ll be quick on your heels
‘Cause he’s a sly Jiver

Oh, he’s a real sly Jiver
But honeh I ain’t no fool
No, no
Oh, that Jivin’ Man
