Willie And The Hand Jive Lyrics

(Johnny Otis)

I know a cat named way out Willie 
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie 
He can walk and stroll and Suzy Q 
And do that crazy hand jive too

Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home 
You and that hand jive has got to go 
Willie said Papa don't put me down 
They're doing that hand jive all over town

Hand jive
Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Doin' that crazy hand jive

Mama Mama look at Uncle Joe 
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo 
Grandma gave baby sister a dime 
Said do that hand jive one more time 
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief 
Now they all dig that crazy beat 
When he did that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Doin' that crazy hand jive

Now Willie and Millie got married last fall 
They had a little Willie Jr and that ain't all 
Well the baby got famous and it's clear to see 
They're doing that hand jive on TV

Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Doin' that crazy hand jive

Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Hand jive 
Doin' that crazy hand jive
