Wizzard ,See My Baby Jive

Thursday, 01 March 2012 09:10

wizzardI loved this song first time i heard it back in the 70’s, well 1974 to be precise. The thing is I could never understand what they were singing. Thank God for the net.

Wizzard were the band, bit of a one hit wonder here in Australia.The lead singer Roy Wood was also a member of the British band The Move.

It was written and produced by Wood, and the record is deeply indebted to Phil Spector’s “Wall of Sound “technique.

Abba later acknowledged its influence on their first major international hit "Waterloo" the following year.

Fell free to sing along.

Look out! look out! your momma will shout you might as well go home

But you you make things that get along turn out so wrong

See my baby jive ,see my baby jive she hangs onto me and she really goes
wo - oh (wo - oh) wo – oh


See my baby jive such a lazy jive well every one you meet coming down the street
just to see my baby jive .
That tenor horn is turning me on he's dropped down to his knees

Jim Kale, the group's bassist and the song's co-author, explained his take on the lyrics: The popular misconception was that it was a chauvinistic tune, which was anything but the case.
