Willie and the Hand Jive
Johnny Otis, Capitol Records, 1958

Bb5
I know a cat named way out Willie.

He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie.
       Eb5     
He can Walk and Stroll and Suzy Q.
    Bb5
And do that crazy Hand Jive, too.


Bb5
Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home.

You and that Hand Jive has got to go.
Eb5
Willie, said Papa, don't put me down.
        Bb5
They're doing that Hand Jive all over town.

Chorus:
     Eb5         Bb5         F5
Hand Jive, Hand Jive, Hand Jive,
                      Bb5
doing that crazy Hand Jive.


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.'
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.

Chorus

Hey, hey

Brief Solo

Now Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie Jr. and that ain't all.
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see,
doing that Hand Jive on TV.

Chorus

Hey, hey

Hey
