Before I was born
Late one night

My papa said everything's alright

The doctor laughed
When Ma lay down

With her stomach bouncing all around

Cause the 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 moved my legs

I started dancing
When I gathered eggs

The townfolk clapped
I was only five
He'll out dance 'em all
He's born to hand-jive

Oh yeah  yeah  yeah
Everybody
Born to hand-jive  baby

Born to hand-jive  baby

Born to hand-jive  baby
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Born to hand-jive  baby

Born to hand-jive  baby

Born to hand-jive  baby

Oh yeah  oh yeah  oh yeah
Oh yeah  oh yeah  oh yeah
Born to hand-jive  oh yeah
