Lyrics
Now when I was a kid in 1956
My big brother showed m' some disgusting tricks
Sitting in the bathroom on my own
Wanking to the rhythm of m' gramophone
And I was going
1-2-3-4 change hands
5-6-7-8 change hands
9-10-11-12 change hands
All you need is the rhythm and the wrist control
And you can do the wanker's rock 'n' roll
Well I tried to do the shimmy and I tried to do the twist
I tried to do the tango, I nearly broke me wrist
The women all point at me and scoff
Say "You won't need me 'til your hand drops off"
And I'm going
1-2-3-4 change hands
5-6-7-8 change hands
9-10-11-12 change hands
All you need is the rhythm and the wrist control
And you can do the wanker's rock 'n' roll
Give me a 'W'
Please give me an 'A'
Now give me an 'N'
Can you guess what it is yet?
Now give me a 'K'
Please give me an 'E'
Now give me a 'R'
And stick 'em all together and what's that spell?
When Long Tall Sally met Johnny B. Goode
He didn't do nothing but pull his pud'
Just the wrist and the fist and you can't go wrong
Doing the Hand-Jive all night long
And I'm going
1-2-3-4 change hands
5-6-7-8 change hands
9-10-11-12 change hands
All you need is the rhythm and the wrist control
And you can do the wanker's rock 'n' roll
I've got Great Balls Of Fire
I've got blisters on me palms
I've got the Willie And The Hand-Jive
And muscular arms
The Teds call me "Wanker"
When I'm walking down the street
'Cause I love to jerk me gherkin
To the Boogie-Woogie beat
And I'm going
1-2-3-4 change hands
5-6-7-8 change hands
9-10-11-12 change hands
All you need is the rhythm and the wrist control
And you can do the wanker's rock 'n' roll
And I'm going
1-2-3-4 change hands
5-6-7-8 change hands
9-10-11-12 change hands
All you need is the rhythm and the wrist control
And you can do the wanker's rock 'n' roll
