Jump Blues is characterized by upbeat, fun and lively lyrics and this type of lyricism is strongly represented in Enjoy Yourself. The main motif of the song "have fun, it's later than you think" along with lyrics like "how far can you travel when you're six feet under?" he is trying to reason with the listener to not get caught up in things like simply working to make money and being trapped in serious matters and that they should consider having fun and enjoying life. Another point of difference compared to Manish Boy is that the song's lyrics are almost shouted during the choruses, this is another common trait with Jump Blues due to the additional instrumentation. In addition to this, the backing singers sing the lyrics "have fun, it's later than you think" during the chorus. Additionally there are also spoken parts in the song with Louis Prima and a female singer. The female singer also sings a verse and later joins Louis Prima to sing vocals on the chorus.
