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!
