Just wanna hand jive with you baby
Hand jive everybody hand jive
Come on girl hand jive
People do the hand jive

Sometime my feet don't feel like
Getting in the groove
But I see a girl in the corner
And I like the way she moves
So I go right over and I start in on the action
Soon as I start dancing
I'm the center of attraction

Doing the hand jive
Ooh hand jive
People do the hand jive
Everybody hand jive

I've got a buddy, he's twenty years old
He like the music but his feet won't move
Save his soul
He's got the finest girl you ever wanna see
They think that he could dance
But he ain't fooling me

Doin' the hand jive
Ooh hand jive
Everybody hand jive
People do the hand jive

So if you can't dance because you got bad feet
Don't let the music go by
Take the tip from me

And do the hand jive
Do the hand jive
Everybody hand jive
People do the hand jive
Oh baby
Come on do it
Shake your hand
If your feet get tired
Shake your hand
You can do it
It's so easy
Shake your hand
