| Way back when in fifty eight
|
| We had a move that move was great
|
| We could walk and stroll and susie q We could do that crazy hand jive too
|
| Remember a cat called way out willie
|
| A cool cat called rockin’billy
|
| Mama said to willie you’ll ruin my home
|
| And you and that hand jive have got to go
|
| 'cos he was hand jivin’he was hand jivin'
|
| He would hand jive day and night hand jive
|
| Willie had a girl called jivin’jilly
|
| Inhibitions she didn’t have any
|
| Willie would stop jilly kept cryin'
|
| To let him do that hand jive one more time
|
| They were hand jivin’they were hand jivin'
|
| They would hand jive day and night
|
| Hand jive day and night
|
| Willie and jilly got married one fall
|
| They had a little willie junior and that’s not all
|
| Little willie got famous and it’s plain to see
|
| That he did that hand jive on tv They were hand jivin’they were hand jivin'
|
| They would hand jive day and night hand jive
|
| Always hand jivin’yeah hand jivin'
|
| We would hand jive day and night hand jive
|
| I can remember about fifty four
|
| Rock’n’roll was at my door
|
| Fifty five and elvis was king
|
| Rock’n’roll was everything
|
| Fifty six fifty seven rock’n’roll carried me to heaven
|
| And looking in on fifty eight
|
| They opened up that pearly gate
|
| We could rock we could roll
|
| Everyone could do the stroll
|
| Dancin’just to stay alive
|
| We all did the crazy hand jive |
