Before i was born, late one night, my papa said everything's alright
the doctor paid, mama laid down, with a semitone bouncing all around
cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
mama gave birth to the hand-jive
I could barely walk when i looked in town, when i was three, i pushed thefly
while jumping would i move my legs, and i saw the dance while i gathereda's
bowed and clapped, i was only five
and i danced '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 canyou go
Higher, higher, higher and higher
now can you hand-jive, baby, oh can you hand-jive, baby
oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, born to hand-jive, oh yeah!
