"Jump with Me Baby" — early B.B. King in the jump blues tradition. The dance instruction as invitation.
Well, my head is spinnin'
Like a spinnin' top
I got rhythm in my feet
And I really wanna hop
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
I got money to waste
A car to drive
We'll go out and play
The joints a little while
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
And we'll take in a show
And go to a dance
You won't be lonesome
'Cause I'll make romance
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight
Now wait, let's have a little taste
'Cause haste makes waste
We might wanna stop
At another little place
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
I wanna jump with you, baby
Babe, I mean tonight

- An early B.B. King recording in the Louis Jordan jump blues tradition. The physical invitation — jump, dance, move — is the blues at its most celebratory.
