Lyrics:

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 a plow
While chopping wood I move my legs
And I started the dance while I gathered eggs

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 can you 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!
