Willie And The Hand Jive

(Music/Lyrics : Johnny Otis)

Willie and the HaNd Jive Lyrics

I know a cat named way out Willie
He got a cool little chick named rockin' Millie
He can dance and stroll and Susie-Q
And do that crazy hand jive too

Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
Say you and that hand jive just got to go
Willie told Papa don't put me down
Doing that hand jive all over town

Hand jive
Hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Mama, mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
And grandma gave baby sister a dime
Said do that hand jive just one more time

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Now, they all digging that crazy beat
Way out Willie gives them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet

Willie and Lily got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see
Doin' that hand jive on TV
