Lyrics

I know a cat named Way-Out Willie Had a cool little chick named Rockin' Billie Made a heart of stone Susie-Q, doin' that crazy hand jive too Papa said "You will ruin my house. You and that hand jive have got to go" Willie said "Papa, don't you put me down, Been doin' that hand jive all over town." Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive I don't want you to get on the floor Gettin' low, getting down with sister go Come on, get baby, little sister'll die Said doin' that hand jive one more time Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive Doctor getting low and he getting check Now they're all digging that crazy beat Way-Out Willie gave 'em all a treat Been doin' that hand jive with his feet Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive Willi and Billie got married last fall Had to live with his sisters and that ain't all Daddy got famous it's plain to see Been doin' that hand jive on his knees Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive
