Born To Hand Jive Lyrics - Olivia Newton-john

Before I was born late one night 

My Papa said "Everything's all right." 

The doctor laughed when Ma lay down 

With her stomach bouncin' all around. 

'Cause a Be-Bop 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 choppin' wood I moved my legs, 

And started dancin' while I gathered eggs. 

The townfolk clapped, I was only five 

"He'll outdance 'em all, he's a born Hand Jive."

Born to Hand Jive, baby, 

Born to Hand Jive, baby. 

***So I grew up dancin' on the stage 

Doin' the Hand Jive became the rage 

But a jealous stud pulled a gun 

And said "Let's see how fast you run" 

Yeah, natural rhythm kept me alive 

Out-dodgin' bullets with the ol' Hand Jive!***

Now you can Hand Jive, baby. 

Oh, can you Hand Jive, baby? 

Born to Hand Jive, baby, 

Born to Hand Jive, baby. 

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, 

BORN TO HAND JIVE, OH YEAH!
