I know a cat named Way-Out Willie

Had a cool little chick named Rockin' Billie

Made a heart of stone Susie-Q, doin' that crazy hand jive too

Papa said "You will ruin my house.



You and that hand jive have got to go"

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

Been doin' that hand jive all over town."

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive



I don't want you to get on the floor

Gettin' low, getting down with sister go

Come on, get baby, little sister'll die

Said doin' that hand jive one more time

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive



Doctor getting low and he getting check

Now they're all digging that crazy beat

Way-Out Willie gave 'em all a treat

Been doin' that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive



Willi and Billie got married last fall

Had to live with his sisters and that ain't all

Daddy got famous it's plain to see

Been doin' that hand jive on his knees

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive
