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!
