BEFORE I WAS BORN
LATE ONE NIGHT
MY PAPA SAID
EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
THE DOCTOR MADE
MY MA LAY DOWN
WITH HER STOMACH
BOUNCIN' ALL AROUND
'CAUSE A 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 CHOPPIN' WOOD
I'D MOVE MY LEGS
AND I STARTED DANCIN'
WHILE I GATHERED EGGS
THE TOWN FOLK CLAPPED
I WAS ONLY FIVE
HE'LL OUTDANCE 'EM ALL

HAND JIVE
OH YEAH YEAH YEAH
