Willie and the Hand Jive

I know a cat named way out Willie
He got a cool little chick named rockin' Millie
He can dance and stroll and Susie-Q
Do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home
Say you and that hand jive just got to go
Willie told Papa don't put me down
Doing that hand jive all over town
Hand jive
Hand jive
Doing that crazy hand jive
Mama, mama look at Uncle Joe
He's doing that hand jive with sister Flo
And grandma gave baby sister a dime
Do that hand jive just one more time
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief
Lord, they all digging that crazy beat
Way out Willie gives them all a treat
Lord he's doing that hand jive with his feet
Willie and Lily got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
The kid got famous in his crib, you see
Lord he's doing that hand jive on TV
