I know a cat named Way-out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie
Yes, she does the ... and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Papa said Willie you're gonna ruin my home, boy
And you and that jive had never got to go
Oh, Willie said Papa : ‘Don't put me down’
Hey, doing that hand jive all over town

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Willie and Millie got married last fall
They got a little Willie junior and that ain't all
Yeah, the baby got famous and it's plain to see
Yeah, doing the hand jive on T.V

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive
