Johnny Otis - Willy and the Hand Jive

I know a cat named Way Out Willie

He got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie

He can walk and stroll and Suzie Q

And do that crazy hand jive too

Papa told Willie, "You'll ruin my home,

You and that hand jive have got to go"

Willie said, "Papa, don't put me down,

They're doin' that hand jive all over town"

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,

Doin' that crazy hand jive

Mama, Mama look at Uncle Joe

He's doin' that hand jive with sister Flo

Grandma gave baby sister a dime

Said, "Do that hand jive one more time"

Doctor and a lawyer and a Indian chief

Now they all dig that crazy beat

Way Out Willie gave 'em all a treat

When he did that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,

Doin' that crazy hand jive

heyy, heyyy

Ahh, Willie and Millie 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

A-doin' the hand jive on TV

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive,

Doin' that crazy hand jive

heyy, heyyy...
