LYRICS:
WILLIE AND THE HAND JIVE
(J. Otis)
 
Well, I know a cat called way out Willie
He’s got a cool, little chick, called rockin’ Billy
You’re just a walking, strolling through the queue
Doing that crazy hand jive too
 
Papa said to Willie "You’d ruin my home"
He said, "You and that hand jive have got to go"
Willie said to papa "Don’t put me down,
They’re doing that hand jive all over town"
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
 
Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe
He’s doing that hand jive with sister Flow
Mama said to papa "Your baby time
So do that hand jive one more time"
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
Willie nearly got married last fall
Had a little Willie junior and that ain’t all
Well, now that baby got famous and it’s plain to see
Doing that hand jive on T.V.
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
Baby, one more time
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
Hand jive……..
