George Thorogood And The Destroyers - Willie And The Hand Jive Lyrics






I know a cat named Way-out Willie
He's got a groovy little chick named Rocking' Lily
Yeah, rock'n'rolling Suzie Q
Does that crazy old hand jive, too

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Mama, mama, look at Sister Flo
Doing that hand jive with Uncle Joe
When I gave little sister a dime
I said "Do that hand jive one more time"

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

A doctor, a lawyer and an Indian Chief
They all dig that Diddley beat
Way-out Willie gave them all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Papa told Willie, "You'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive have got to go"
Willie told Papa, "Don't you put me down
They're doing that hand jive all around town"

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

Willie and Lily got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and that ain't all
Well, the baby got famous in his crib, you see
When he did that hand jive on MTV

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive
Do that crazy hand jive

    Three Chord George rocks like no-one else.

    George's version is my favorite out of everybody who's recorded this song.

    Maverick. One of the most under rated, and enjoyable albums of the 1980's

  21. r.... ....

    @rudolfo6666 one of the most under rated, and enjoyable albums of the 1980's

  22. I.... P....

  29. D.... C....

    george is way under rated and under appreciated. this is excellent. his version of who do you love is superb. george is nothing if not enthusiastic. that's what rock and roll is all about. rock on, george!

  30. M.... T....

    best version i've heard yet

  31. C.... S....

    @bandit1639 he did that handjob with his feet :P

  32. C.... S....

  33. a.... ....

    @tuseroni thats not what the song is about but i like your way of thinking

  34. 1.... ....

    who wouldnt like that??

  35. r.... ....

    One of the biggest surprise of my life was seeing him live in 1985, I nearly didn't go but decided to at the last minute. Blew the roof off the Centrum in Worcester MA, Still ranks in my top 5 shows of all time.

  36. t.... ....

    this song is weird if you think of hand jive as a euphemism for a handjob.

  37. O.... ....

    Wish someone would put up Thorogood's recording of the theme song from James Garner and Roger Moore's television series "Maverick." I've somehow never heard it.

    O.... ....

    Maverick is now on Youtube!

  38. a.... ....

    Many great recordings from George Thorogood. This is from one of the best sessions, after what I can hear from the excellent sound from the Destroyers!!

  39. T.... ....

    The First Time I heard this song was when I was Watching Pro Wrestling Illustrated Lords of the Ring, Supercards and Superbouts, I fell in love with this song and I am glad I got the video

  40. b.... ....

    handjob? :D

  41. r.... ....

    @audiescooter you are right, Maverick is the original album from 1984

  42. A.... C....

    @rudolfo6666 this song issss on the mavirick album

  43. A.... ....

    First time I heard this (song) was at the end of a wrestling video called "Lords of The Rings"-hosted by Gordon Solie and Bill Apter.

  44. i.... ....

    Although I like the original by Johnny Otis, George Still Rocks.

  45. r.... ....

    Originally Johny Otis started 1958 that song popularity.

  46. A.... ....

    This is Real Rock!!!!

  47. c.... ....

    Pretty good cover of the original by the "Johnny Otis Show!" "G.T. & The Delaware Destroyers"

  48. r.... ....

    There is not "What a price" song overthere, it's only on Maverick album, 1985.

  49. s.... ....

    saw these guys in 1982 at massey hall in toronto canada. they rock
