BEFORE I WAS BORN
LATE ONE NIGHT
MY PAPA SAID
EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
THE DOCTOR LAUGHED
WHEN MA LAID DOWN
WITH HER STOMACH
BOUNCIN' ALL AROUND
'CAUSE THE BEE-BOP 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 PLOUGH
WHILE CHOPPIN' WOOD
I MOVED MY LEGS
AND I STARTED DANCIN'
WHILE I GATHERED EGGS
THE TOWNFOLK CLAPPED
I WAS ONLY FIVE
HE'LL OUTDANCE '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, OH YEAH
BORN TO HAND JIVE
OH YEAH
