I know a cat named Way-out Willie,
he's got a groovy little chick named Rocking' Lily
Yeah, rock & rolling Suzie Q,
does that crazy old hand jive, too
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
do that crazy hand jive
Mama, mama, look at Sister Flo,
doing that hand jive with Uncle Joe
When I gave little sister a dime,
I said "Do that hand jive one more time"
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
do that crazy hand jive
A doctor, a lawyer and an Indian Chief,
they all dig that Diddley 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
Papa told Willie, "You'll ruin my home,
you and that hand jive have got to go"
Willie told Papa, "Don't you put me down,
they're doing that hand jive all around town"
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
do that crazy hand jive
Willie and Lily got married last fall
they had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see,
when he did that hand jive on MTV
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,
do that crazy hand jive
