Doing the Hand Jive
Doing The Hand Jive
When rock and roll first started a long long time ago
The kids could see their favourite stars down at the movie show
But when that music started it almost drove them wild
They'd stamp their feet to the rocking beat
And were dancing in the aisles
The old folks didn't like it and shouted throw them out
I guess they didn't understand what rock and roll's about
The kids all got together not wanting to be beat
And came up with a brand new dance they could do right in their seat
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
The papers wrote about it they showed it on TV
And singers sang those rocking songs and everyone agreed
It only took a minute to learn those crazy moves
Then all you need is rock and roll and man you're in the groove
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
From New York to Chicago and San Francisco too
It's an overnight sensation that anyone can do
It's been a long time coming but I've just heard today
There's something old that's coming back and it's coming right away
And when the kids all see it they'll want to try it too
And they will say this old hand jive is the coolest thing they do
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive hand jive
When rock and roll first started a long long time ago
The kids could see their favourite stars down at the movie show
But when that music started it almost drove them wild
They'd stamp their feet to the rocking beat
And were dancing in the aisles
The old folks didn't like it and shouted throw them out
I guess they didn't understand what rock and roll's about
The kids all got together not wanting to be beat
And came up with a brand new dance they could do right in their seat
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
The papers wrote about it they showed it on TV
And singers sang those rocking songs and everyone agreed
It only took a minute to learn those crazy moves
Then all you need is rock and roll and man you're in the groove
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
From New York to Chicago and San Francisco too
It's an overnight sensation that anyone can do
It's been a long time coming but I've just heard today
There's something old that's coming back and it's coming right away
And when the kids all see it they'll want to try it too
And they will say this old hand jive is the coolest thing they do
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
They call it the hand jive they're doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive
Having the time of their life doing the hand jive hand jive
