For some reason I had this scene in my head for days. The song itself is called "Jump In the Line" composed by Trinidadian calypsonian Lord Kitchener (Aldwyn Roberts) in the late 40’s. It was then re-recorded by Harry Belafonte in 1961, the version used in “Beetlejuice”.
“Beetlejuice” theatrical trailer from 1988:
Also to note: In 1998, the song was covered by American rock/swing band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies for the soundtrack to the movie BASEketball.
