Ben Pollack

Ben Pollack (June 22, 1903 - June 7, 1971) was an American drummer and bandleader from the mid 1920s through the swing era. His eye for talent led him to either discover or employ, at one time or another, musicians such as Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller, Jimmy McPartland and Harry James. This ability earned him the nickname "Father of Swing".

Got the jitters, got the jitters;
Got the jitters, got the jitters, got the jitters.
Like the pounding of a hammer
Is the clatter & the clammer
Of Manhattan’s panorama,
Got the jitters!

Goin’ places, goin’ places,
Sick and tired of those artificial faces!
Oh, the chatter, chatter, chatter,
On demand, it doesn’t matter,
Has me madder than a hatter
Got the jitters!

Got a penthouse with a view,
Never get a chance to SEE the view!!
Bought a shiny Cadillac,
Always use the taxi there and back,

Got the jitters, got the jitters;
Got the jitters, got the jitters, got the jitters.
From the moment that I get up,
On the go without a let-up,
Waiter, bring another set-up,
GOT THE JITTERS!!!

Like a million city critters
Who are not exactly quitters,
And would much be married men,
That’s got the jitters!!
