Way back when in fifty-eight
He had a move; his move was great
He could walk and stroll and Suzie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too
He had a move; his move was great
He could walk and stroll and Suzie Q
And do that crazy hand jive, too
Remember a cat, Way Out Willie
A cool cat called Rocking Billie
Papa said to Willie, "You ruin my home.
And you and that hand jive have got to go"
A cool cat called Rocking Billie
Papa said to Willie, "You ruin my home.
And you and that hand jive have got to go"
'Cause he was hand jiving
He was hand jiving
He would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
He was hand jiving
He would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
Willie had a girl called Jiving Jenny
Inhibitions, she didn't have any
Willie would stop, Jenny kept crying
To let her do that hand jive one more time
Inhibitions, she didn't have any
Willie would stop, Jenny kept crying
To let her do that hand jive one more time
They were hand jiving
They were hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
Day and night
They were hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
Day and night
Willie and Jenny got married one fall
They had a little Willie Junior and that's not all
Well the baby got famous and it's plain to see
That he did that hand jive on TV
They had a little Willie Junior and that's not all
Well the baby got famous and it's plain to see
That he did that hand jive on TV
They were hand jiving
They were hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
They were hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
Always hand jiving
Yeah, hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
Yeah, hand jiving
They would hand jive
Day and night, hand jive
I can remember in fifty-four
Rock and roll was at my door
Fifty-five and Elvis was King
Rock and roll was everything
Rock and roll was at my door
Fifty-five and Elvis was King
Rock and roll was everything
Fifty-six, fifty-seven
Rock and roll carried me to heaven
And then along with fifty-eight
He opened up the pearly gate
Rock and roll carried me to heaven
And then along with fifty-eight
He opened up the pearly gate
We could rock, we could roll
Everyone could do the stroll
Dancing just to stay alive
We all did the crazy hand jive
Everyone could do the stroll
Dancing just to stay alive
We all did the crazy hand jive
