Sha Na Na Lyrics
"Willie and the Hand Jive"

I know a cat named Way-Out Willie
He got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too

Well, papa said "Willie, you ruin my home
You and the hand jive have got to go"
Willie said, "Papa don't put me down
They're doin' the hand jive all over"

Come on, everybody
Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive, doin' that crazy...

[Spoken]
Get out your hands!
If you don't know how to do it, watch these guys
They're professionals, you know

Mama, Mama look at Uncle Joe
Doin' the hand jive with sister Flo
Now Grandma gave baby sister a dime
Do the hand jive one more time

Now, doctor and a lawyer and a Indian chief
Said, they all dig that crazy beat
Way-Out Willie gave 'em all a treat
When he did the hand jive with his feet

Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Hey, hey

[Spoken]
Aw, yeah
Now in the movie we sang a song called 'Born to Hand Jive'
The words of this song are
"Born to hand jive, baby
Born to hand jive, baby"
Let's sing it, here we go

Born to hand jive, baby
Born to hand jive, baby

[Spoken]
Hey, we can't hear you

Born to hand jive, baby
She was
Born to hand jive, baby
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Born to hand jive!
Oh yeah

Let's hear it for this hand jivin' fool
How about it?
She's got it goin' on

Hand jive
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doin' that crazy hand jive
Hey, yeah
Hey, hey
Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah!
Hand jive!
