WILLIE AND THE HAND JIVE- Eric Clapton
G
I know a cat named Way Out Willie
Got a cool little chick named Rockin’ Millie
C
He can walk and stroll and Suzy-Q
G
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:
C G D G
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!
