Willie and the Hand Jive
Otis
I know a cat named Way-out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie
Yes, she does the ... and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Papa said Willie you're gonna ruin my home, boy
And you and that jive had never got to go
Oh, Willie said Papa: 'Don't put me down'
Hey, doing that hand jive all over town.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Willie and Millie got married last fall
They got a little Willie junior and that ain't all
Yeah, the baby got famous and it's plain to see
Yeah, doing the hand jive on T.V.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
I know a cat named Way-out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rocking Millie
Yes, she does the ... and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Papa said Willie you're gonna ruin my home, boy
And you and that jive had never got to go
Oh, Willie said Papa: 'Don't put me down'
Hey, doing that hand jive all over town.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive, oh Lord.

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive.
