Before I was born, late one night,
A
C   A
                          G  A
My papa said everything's alright
A

    D                C   D
The doctor made mama lay down,
D
F   D  

         A                    G  A
With her stomach bouncing all around
A
C   A  

        E7                D7
Cause a beebop stork was about to arrive
A                      G               Ab    A
Mama gave birth to the hand jive

        A                         G  A
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
A
C   A

                          G  A
When I was three I pushed a plow
A

      D                      C  D
While chopping wood I'd move my legs
D
F   D  

      A                         G      A
And I started dancing while I gathered eggs
A
C   A  

    E7                      D7
The townfolk clapped, I was only five
       A                              G          Ab   
"He'll out dance 'em all, he's a born hand jive"
