I know a cat named Way Out Willie.
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie.
       D      
He can Walk and Stroll and Suzy Q.
    A 
And do that crazy Hand Jive, too.


VERSE:
Mama, Mama, look at Uncle Joe.
He's doing that Hand Jive with sister Flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime,
Said, "Do that Hand Jive one more time."

Hand Jive, Hand Jive, Hand Jive,
                      A 
Doin' that crazy Hand Jive.


VERSE:
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief.
Now they all dig that crazy beat.
Way Out Willie gave them all a treat.
When he did that Hand Jive with his feet.


[repeat CHORUS]

[Guitar SOLO]


VERSE:
Now Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie Jr. and that ain't all.
Well, the kid's got crazy and it's plain to see,
Doin' that Hand Jive on TV.


[repeat CHORUS]
