Well, I know a cat called Way-Out Willie
He's got a cool, little chic, called rockin' Billy
Just a walking, strolling through the cue
Doing that crazy hand jive too
Papa said to Willie, "You'd ruin my home"
Said you and that hand jive have got to go
Willie said to Papa, "Don't put me down"
They're doing that hand jive all over town
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
Mama, mama, look at uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
Mama said to papa, "Baby, you'd die"
If you're doin' that hand jive one more time
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
(Instrumental break)
Willie nearly got married last fall
Had a little Willie junior and that ain't all
Well, now that baby got famous and it's plain to see
Doing that hand jive on TV
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
(One more time) Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, do that crazy hand jive
