Another Saturday night and everybody gets together |
|
The pubs are turning out and all the streets are alive |
|
But the people wanna party so they come back to our house |
|
Everybody gonna do the U.K Jive |
|
Dad's got a crate of beer and it's an open invitation |
|
He's ever-so elated and so are his mates |
|
Everybody's welcome to bring all their dates home |
|
To syncopate and celebrate the U.K. Jive |
|
Swing your partner to the left, swing he back to the right |
|
Don't stand in the middle and act cool all night |
|
Everybody act a fool, jump around, lose your mind |
|
Celebrate and typify the sign of the times |
|
Do that U.K. Jive |
|
Do that U.K. Jive |
|
U.K. O.K. U.K. O.K. gimme that U.K. Jive |
|
(Repeat) |
|
You gotta swing to the left, then back to the right |
|
You gotta learn to swing both ways |
|
When you're jiving in the U.K. O.K. U.K. |
|
Mum's all annoyed dad forgot the inflation |
|
He blew all his wages by half past nine |
|
Now he's bought a gramophone on the never never |
|
And the tally man's gotta have his money on time |
|
But the kids are jumping round |
|
And they're wearing out their leather |
|
Driving all the neighbours out of their minds |
|
Make a noise with boys and girls of the nation |
|
That's the explanation of the U.K. Jive |
|
Blow in my ear, I like the way you do that |
|
And that's what I wanna hear |
|
Is that a fact? |
|
Are you jiving me? |
|
Oh, you bad pussy cat |
|
You'll make papa mad |
|
Do that U.K. Jive |
|
Do that U.K. Jive |
|
U.K O.K. U.K. O.K. |
|
Do that U.K. Jive |
|
(Repeat) |
