Manhattan Transfer, The - Java Jive Lyrics

Manhattan transfer case

My grandma and I use to sing this song together. It brings back good memories everytime I hear this song.
Rest easy, grandma 💙

War… war never changes.

Fallout 5 (Pipless in Seattle)

600th subscriber...do I win a cup of coffee

very nice but inkspots rule!!!

Ahhhhh I’m trying to write out the harmonies to record but I can’t du gute out if it’s 3 or 4 parts? Help! It sounds like 3 but I see 4 silhouettes on the album cover?

This arrangement is four parts; there are many, many arrangements out there (SSA, SATB, SAB, TTBB, etc.) It's a great song for close harmony and easy to adapt to however many voices you have available.

It's the perfect song to drink a coffee first thing in the morning, dark roast, black, ceramic cup, bath robe, slippers, and a news paper.

This could be my theme song.

Inside Edition brought me here

you love java jive.. and live in java..

Love it

RIP WHITE COLLAR

I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup (boy!)
I love java, sweet and hot
Whoops mr. moto, I'm a coffee pot
Shoot the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Oh slip me a slug from the wonderful mug
And I'll cut a rug just snug in a jug
A sliced up onion and a raw one
Draw one -
Waiter, waiter, percolator
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup
Boston bean (soy beans)
Green bean (cabbage and greens)
I'm not keen about a bean
Unless it is a chili chili bean (boy!)
I love java sweet and hot
Whoops mr. moto I'm a coffee pot (yeah)
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot
A cup, a cup, a cup (yeah)
Slip me a slug of the wonderful mug
'an I'll cut a rug just as snug in a jug
Drop a nickel in the pot joe
Takin' it slow
Waiter, waiter, percolator
I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me
Coffee and tea and the java and me
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, boy!

Sang this a few days ago with Churchdown Choral Society as part of our summer concert. I can just imagine all of my grandparents would have loved this song if they were alive today.

should've been in fallout 4

My cousin singing this song when we played the voice

my son really loves this song

my crush really love this song. 😂💞

Love it!

Its soo gooooooood!

very good song

Would someone please explain for me the significance of the line "a slice of onion and a raw one". I mean, what's raw onion got to do with coffee?

Some coffees can be bitter...Like Chickory, it takes away the bitterness....................Back then.

thank you for this

iremember seeing them up close LIVE in their early days.

rare silk

♨️java jive♨️

this sounds satanic

+Nayan Something Wut...?

shutup, onion

Nayan Something I thought I was the only one.

What?? This song is adorable!

I miss TIm Hauser. I first saw the Manhattan Transfer when they made their West Coast debut at the Roxy. Then a few years later Tim Hauser had his own free-form radio show on KCRW called "Sunday Sings Jazz" (the theme music of which was sung to the tune of "Jumping with Symphony Sid"). He shared how he was influenced by the bop, jive, ballads and novelty songs of his formative years during the 1940's and early 1950's. He and the Manhattan Transfer brought great musical styles back to a new generation.

I'm singing this in choir! It is so fun.

+Angela Wilson (FandomEmoMemeTrash) You'll remember your time singing this in your choir for the rest of your life. Enjoy! :)

me too, do u go to Tarkington isd?

How nice. lovely song. do you sing more songs of Manhattan transfer? have a lot of fun. singing is good for your health in all possible ways. I sing also and lots of different styles. a lot of opera and Schubert arias and songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF9DrUXowBo. this is for men and women. hope the link works. thank you all for sharing a little part of your life here.

White Collar brought me here!

me three 😄

Lol alice @Icy M'n'm's rule

white collar ;)

This song woke me up more than my actual cup of coffee did this morning.

Coffee Prince brought me here

커피랑~ ^^

감사하게 들어요!

I don't understand the meaning of "Java Jive"

thank you <3

Java is a name for coffee.

+Christian Kramer it's an island in Indonesia.

The Indonesian island of Java produced much of the world's coffee at one time, hence the name.

Java Jive is referring to coffee. I know it's an Island, I was taking about the reference to it in the song.

Thanks!!!!!

For Pastor Paul Bently.

Rest his Soul

Tim Hauser

the beginning of this song reminds me so much of a fallout song but I can't remember which

oh it was i don't wanna set the world on fire? damn should've known that heard that song a million times in the game

A bunch of the Ink Spots' songs actually have very similar intros... XD

+Matt Hawk (Protiny 1337) I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire, Maybe and It's All Over but the Crying all have practically identical introductions (besides the key signature) if you don't believe me look it up :)

+Matt Hawk (Protiny 1337) That, and their cover of "Java Jive" which isn't (but should've been) in fallout 3 or 4

It's actually exactly the same as a song I used to play for piano called "In the Pink"

RIP. for Tim Hauser ( Bass Vocal ) from The Manhattan Transfer

ink spots did it better

R.I.P. Tim Hauser 1941-2014 #TheManhattanTransferForever

Thank you Shawn Williams. just noticed that you put a link as well. i will listen to it. didn't hear manhattan transfer for at least 20 years and last month it came back in my memorie. love it very much. scotch and soda is soooo nice.

So sad to hear that Tim passed away!Loved this group since mid seveties R.I.P 

The wry humor of the song is amplified when one learns that "jive," in the 30s and 40s, was black patois for marijuana/cannabis.

Except it doesn't. At all. And never has.


"Jive" referred do swing dance or just talking.


You're thinking "T" or "tea". But no, nothing else in the song is referring to marijuana whatsoever. Keep spreading that misinformation, though.

Always like this jam!  Had the great honor of seeing these kats live in the 80's in Springfield, Ma.,.......their music still rocks!

Great, The Manhattan Transfer & I am not even gay!

Just an APG listner passing by....

Z Z Z Z Z Z . . . . . . . .

Someone at Dunkin' Donuts recommended this group to me, this song made me laugh when I came across it. Great group though.

I love coffee, I love tea
난 커피를 사랑하고, 차를 사랑하지요
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
난 커피를 즐기는 걸 사랑하고, 그것도 날 사랑하지요
Coffee and tea and the Java and me,

A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔!


I love Java, sweet and hot
난 커피를 사랑해, 달콤하고 뜨거운 커피를
Whoops!  Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
앗! 모토 씨, 난 커피 포트에요
Shoot me the pot and I'll pour me a shot,
나 한잔 따라 줘요, 한 잔 더 할 거에요
A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup!
한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔, 한 잔!


Oh~ slip me a slug from that wonderful mug,
오~ 그 멋진 머그잔에 있는 커피 한 모금 따라 주세요,
and I'll cut a rug till I'm snug in a jug
난 커피 포트 안이 아늑해질 때까지 춤을 출 거에요
A slice of onion and a raw one
양파 한 조각, 익히지 않은 것으로
Draw one!
따라 줘요!
Waiter waiter percolator!
웨이터, 여과기에!

Boston beans,
보스턴 콩,

대두 콩,
I said those little, itty bitty green beans!
아주 작고 작은 푸른 콩을 말하는 거에요!
(Cabbage and Greens)
양배추와 푸른 야채들
You know that I'm not keen about a bean,
당신도 알다시피 난 콩에 대해 잘 몰라요,
unless it is a chili chili bean
그것이 칠리 콩만 아니라면
(Talk it boy)


I love Java, sweet and hot
난 커피를 사랑해, 달콤하고 뜨거운 커피를
Whoops! Mr. Moto, I'm a coffee pot
어머나! 모토 씨, 난 커피 포트에요
You shoot me the pot, and I'll pour me a shot,
나 한잔 따라 줘요, 한 잔 더 할 거에요
A cup a.. cup a... cup a.....
한 잔, 한..잔, 한...잔, 한....


Oh Slip me a slug from that wonderful mug
오~ 그 멋진 머그컵에 있는 커피 한 모금 따라 주세요,
And I’ll cut a rug that's snug in a jug
난 커피 포트 안이 아늑해질 때까지 춤을 출 거에요
Drop your nickel in my pot, Joe
내 포트 안에 5센트를 넣어줘요, 조
Takin' it slow,
천천히 가져가요,
Waiter Waiter percolator!
웨이터, 여과기에!


I love coffee, I love tea,
난 커피를 사랑하고, 차를 사랑하지요
I love the Java Jive and it loves me
난 커피를 즐기는 걸 사랑하고, 그것도 날 사랑하지요
(Ba Boom Ba Boom Ba bee)
Coffee and tea and the Java and me, (Yeah~)

Thanks White Collar

Came here because of Coffee Prince and White Collar! This is such a WTF song...

i just did it in my advanced womens ensemble in high school!

im singing this song for my chorus, only 8th grade girls of 15.

Whenever I start feeling reeeeaally tired, I get this song in my head for some reason, lol xD

One of my favorites! I have been known to sing this as I grab my first cuppa of the day

Waiter, waiter - percolater! The coffee addict's song = fabulous.
