Before I was born, late one night |
|
My papa said, "Everything's alright" |
|
The doctor paid, my ma laid down |
|
With a semitone bouncing all around |
|
'Cause the bebop 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 moved my legs |
|
And they saw me dancing when I gathered eggs |
|
The townsfolk clapped, I was only five |
|
And I danced 'em all, he's born to hand jive |
|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody! |
|
Born to hand jive, baby |
|
Born to hand jive, baby, yeah |
|
How low can you go? How low can you go? |
|
How low can you go? How low can you go? |
|
Higher, higher, higher and higher! |
|
Now can you hand jive, baby |
|
Oh, can you hand jive, baby |
|
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah |
|
Born to hand jive, oh yeah! |
