I know a cat named Way Out Willie He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie He can walk and stroll and Susie Q And do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie, 'you'll ruin my home You and that hand jive have got to go' Willie said, 'Papa, don't put me down They're doin' the hand jive all over town'
(Chorus) Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive Doin' that crazy hand jive
Mama, Mama look at Uncle Joe He's doin' that hand jive with sister Flo Grandma gave baby sister a dime Said, 'do that hand jive one more time'
Doctor and the lawyer and Indian chief Now they all dig that crazy beat Way Out Willie gave 'em all a treat When he did that hand jive with his feet
(Chorus)
Willie and Millie got married last fall They had a little Willie Junior and that ain't all Well, the baby got famous and it's plain to see Doin' that hand jive on TV
