I've been looking for a version of "Jersey Bounce" with singing since Google was created. It's usually an instrumental. My mother insists she heard it on the radio during her honeymoon with Dad in the 1930's, and I have never found it until now. This is a 1961 recording, but I'll take it.
Ella Fitzgerald (1917-1996), vocals - with Lou Levy, piano; Herb Ellis, guitar; Joe Mondragon, bass; and Stan Levey, drums. Recorded in Los Angeles on June 22, 1961.
[scat] They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air And now you hear it everywhere Uptown gave it new licks Downtown added some tricks No town makes it sound the same As where it came from So if you don't feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you're hep or not The Jersey bounce'll make you swing [scat] How I love that Jersey bounce [scat] Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce [scat] They call it that Jersey bounce A rhythm that really counts The temperature always mounts Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce It started on Journal Square And somebody heard it there He put it right on the air That tune called the Jersey Bounce Uptown gave it new licks Downtown added some tricks No town make it sound the same As where it came from So if you don't feel so hot Go out to some Jersey spot And whether you're hep or not The Jersey bounce'll make you swing Ounce by ounce The Jersey Bounce Puts you right in the swing That Jersey Bounce It'll make you swing Give me that Jersey Bounce.

They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Wherever they play, the funny rhythm they play
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
And now you hear it everywhere
Uptown gave it new licks
Downtown added some tricks
No town makes it sound the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
[scat]
How I love that Jersey bounce
[scat]
Oh come on and play that Jersey bounce
[scat]
They call it that Jersey bounce
A rhythm that really counts
The temperature always mounts
Whenever they play that Jersey Bounce
It started on Journal Square
And somebody heard it there
He put it right on the air
That tune called the Jersey Bounce
Uptown gave it new licks
Downtown added some tricks
No town make it sound the same
As where it came from
So if you don't feel so hot
Go out to some Jersey spot
And whether you're hep or not
The Jersey bounce'll make you swing
Ounce by ounce
The Jersey Bounce
Puts you right in the swing
That Jersey Bounce
It'll make you swing
Give me that Jersey Bounce.
The incomparable Ella Fitzgerald ❤
