There's no one in the house
It's quiet as a mouse
But eight o'clock they will all be home
Our Momma isn't well
She hasn't been herself
Forgetting things she's always known

Well tonight she's gonna dance
Tonight she's gonna sing
Little Momma's gotta shake it
We're gonna get you back into the swing

Let's get jigorous, jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life
That's all around us
Jigorous, jigorous
Get livin', dangerous cause there's only so much more daylight
So today will have to cheat its way
Into tonight

The family loves to dance
We seize on any chance
To kick up our heels and cut a rug
Tom and Linny rhumba
And me and Megan walts
Look it Ma & Johnny jitterbug!

You could say it doesn't help her
It's only just a dance
But when you have a partner
You always have a chance
So let's get

Jig, jig, everybody
Jig, jig hand in hand
Jig, jig for the love of each pair of feet in the land
Reach out for a partner
Grab on, do-si-do
Find you one who won't let go

I got one who won't let go

Stealthily I creep
The nurse says she's asleep
I sit on the bed and watch her breathe
Cause when she comes awake
She'll say it's a mistake:
"I don't belong here, son, let's leave!"

Well Momma isn't sure of
Her way from here to there
Like all of us she tries to be brave but she's scared
But when she hears a song that
She thinks she's heard before
She reaches for her partner, and heads out to the floor
She says: Let's get - c'mon now,

Let's get jigorous, jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life
That's all around us
Jigorous, jigorous
Get livin', dangerous cause I want to deserve this light
That's shinin' down on us

Jigorous, jigorous
Jig-jivin', jumpin' into the swirlin', twirlin', whirl of life
That's all around us
Jigorous, jigorous, ain't it fabulous
Cause I'm bathin' in the warmest light
And today is gonna cheat its way into tonight
