Cliff Richard - Willie The Hand Jive Lyrics

Way back when in fifty eight

We had a move that move was great

We could walk and stroll and susie q

We could do that crazy hand jive too



Remember a cat called way out willie

A cool cat called rockin billy

Mama said to willie youll ruin my home

And you and that hand jive have got to go

cos he was hand jivin he was hand jivin

He would hand jive day and night hand jive



Willie had a girl called jivin jilly

Inhibitions she didnt have any

Willie would stop jilly kept cryin

To let him do that hand jive one more time

They were hand jivin they were hand jivin

They would hand jive day and night

Hand jive day and night



Willie and jilly got married one fall

They had a little willie junior and thats not all

Little willie got famous and its plain to see

That he did that hand jive on tv



They were hand jivin they were hand jivin

They would hand jive day and night hand jive

Always hand jivin yeah hand jivin

We would hand jive day and night hand jive



I can remember about fifty four

Rocknroll was at my door

Fifty five and elvis was king

Rocknroll was everything

Fifty six fifty seven rocknroll carried me to heaven

And looking in on fifty eight

They opened up that pearly gate

We could rock we could roll

Everyone could do the stroll

Dancin just to stay alive

We all did the crazy hand jive
