Intro

Before I was born, late one night,

My papa said everything's alright

The doctor made mama lay down,

With her stomach bouncing all around

Cause a beebop stork was about to arrive

Mama gave birth to the hand jive

I could barely walk when I milked a cow

When I was three I pushed a plow

While chopping wood I'd move my legs

And I started dancing while I gathered eggs

The townfolk clapped, I was only five

"He'll out dance 'em all, he's a born hand jive"

Born to hand jive, baby,

Born to hand jive, baby

Now can you hand jive, baby,

oh can you hand jive, baby

Oh yeah,

oh yeah,

oh yeah, yeah.

Born to hand jive, oh yeah!
