lyrics

I know a cat named Way-out Willie
He got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie
He can walk and stroll with Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive too

Mama told Willie You'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive's gotta go
Willie said Papa don't put me down
Been doing that hand jive all over town

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Mama, mama, look at Uncle Joe (look at him)
He's doing the hand jive with Sister Flo
Even gave baby sister a dime (hey, hey)
Say, do that hand jive one more time

Well the doctor and the lawyer and a native chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat, yeah
When he did that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive
Hey, yeah

Well, Willie and Millie got married last fall
They got a little Willie Junior and that ain't all
Y'know that baby's got crazy and it's plain to see
Doing that hand jive on TV
C'mon

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive

Doing that crazy hand jive
