WILLIE AND THE HAND JIVE- Eric Clapton

I know a cat named Way Out Willie

Got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie

He can walk and stroll and Suzy-Q

Do the crazy hand jive too

Momma momma look at uncle Joe
Doin' the hand jive with sister Flo
Uncle gave sister a dime
Do the hand jive one more time

CHORUS:

Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, do that crazy jive

Doctor, a lawyer and an Indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way Out Willie give 'em all a treat
When he did that hand jive with his feet... CHORUS

Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior and that ain't all
The kid's got crazy and it's plain to see
He's doin' the hand jive on T.V. ... CHORUS

NOTE: The important thing to this song is the Bo Diddley rhythm. I have
no idea how to explain it- listen to the record!
