GLEE CAST – Born To Hand Jive Lyrics

[Mercedes:]
Before I was born late one night
My papa said everything’s alright
The doctor paid, my Mama laid down
With her stomach bouncing all around
‘Cause the beebop stork was about to arrive
Mama gave birth to a hand-jive

[Mercedes and Marley:]
I could barely walk when I milked a cow
When I was three I pushed a plow

[Jake:]
While chopping wood I moved my legs
And they saw me dance when I gathered eggs

[Marley and Ryder:]
The townfolk clapped, I was only five
Out-dance ‘em all, he was born to hand-jive!

[Mercedes:]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah – everybody

[Mercedes with New Directions, Mike and Kitty:]
Born to hand-jive, baby
Born to hand-jive, baby

[Mercedes:]
How low can you go?

[Marley:]
How low can you go?

[Ryder:]
How low can you go?

[Jake:]
How low can you go?
Higher!

[Ryder:]
Higher!

[Marley:]
Higher!

[Mercedes:]
And higher, yeah!

[Ryder with New Directions:]
Now can you hand jive, baby?

[Ryder, Marley and Mercedes with New Directions, Mike and Kitty:]
Oh can you hand jive, baby? ( [Mercedes:] Baby, yeah!)

[Ryder with New Directions, Mike and Kitty:]
Oh yeah can you hand jive, baby? ( [Mercedes:] Can you hand jive?)
Oh can you hand jive baby? ( [Mercedes:] Baby!)
Oh yeah ( [Mercedes:] Oh yeah)
Oh yeah ( [Mercedes:] Oh yeah, yeah)
Oh yeah ( [Mercedes:] Oh yeah)

[Ryder and Mercedes with New Directions, Mike and Kitty:]
Born to hand jive, oh yeah!
