Uk Jive Lyrics - Kinks

Another Saturday night and everybody gets together 

The pubs are turning out and all the streets are alive 

But the people wanna party so they come back to our house 

Everybody gonna do the U.K Jive 

Dad's got a crate of beer and it's an open invitation 

He's ever-so elated and so are his mates 

Everybody's welcome to bring all their dates home 

To syncopate and celebrate the U.K. Jive 

Swing your partner to the left, swing he back to the right 

Don't stand in the middle and act cool all night 

Everybody act a fool, jump around, lose your mind 

Celebrate and typify the sign of the times

Do that U.K. Jive 

Do that U.K. Jive 

U.K. O.K. U.K. O.K. gimme that U.K. Jive 

(Repeat) 

You gotta swing to the left, then back to the right 

You gotta learn to swing both ways 

When you're jiving in the U.K. O.K. U.K. 

Mum's all annoyed dad forgot the inflation 

He blew all his wages by half past nine 

Now he's bought a gramophone on the never never 

And the tally man's gotta have his money on time 

But the kids are jumping round 

And they're wearing out their leather 

Driving all the neighbours out of their minds 

Make a noise with boys and girls of the nation 

That's the explanation of the U.K. Jive 

Photos 

Blow in my ear, I like the way you do that 

And that's what I wanna hear 

Is that a fact? 

Are you jiving me? 

Oh, you bad pussy cat 

You'll make papa mad 

Do that U.K. Jive 

Do that U.K. Jive 

U.K O.K. U.K. O.K. 

Do that U.K. Jive 

(Repeat)
