Willie And The Hand Jive chords by Johnny Otis

Chords with lyrics

Johnny Otis, Capitol Records, 1958

Bb majorBb
I know a cat named way out Willie.

He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie.
    Eb MajorEb
He can Walk and Stroll and Suzy Q.
  Bb majorBb
And do that crazy Hand Jive, too.

Bb majorBb
Papa told Willie you'll ruin my home.

You and that Hand Jive has got to go.
Eb MajorEb
Willie, said Papa, don't put me down.
    Bb majorBb
They're doing that Hand Jive all over town.

Chorus:
   FF
Hand Jive, Hand Jive, Hand Jive,
           Bb majorBb
doing that crazy Hand Jive.

Mama, Mama, look at Uncle Joe.
He's doing that Hand Jive with sister Flo.
Grandma gave baby sister a dime,
said, 'Do that Hand Jive one more time.'
Doctor and a lawyer and an Indian chief.
Now they all dig that crazy beat.
Way out Willie gave them all a treat.
When he did that Hand Jive with his feet.

Chorus

Hey, hey

Brief Solo

Now Willie and Millie got married last fall.
They had a little Willie Jr. and that ain't all.
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see,
doing that Hand Jive on TV.

Chorus

Hey, hey

Hey
