Uk Jive

Another Saturday night and everybody gets together

The pubs are turning out and all the streets are alive

But the people wanna party so they come back to our house

Everybody gonna do the U.K Jive

Dad's got a crate of beer and it's an open invitation

He's ever-so elated and so are his mates

Everybody's welcome to bring all their dates home

To syncopate and celebrate the U.K. Jive

Swing your partner to the left, swing he back to the right

Don't stand in the middle and act cool all night

Everybody act a fool, jump around, lose your mind

Celebrate and typify the sign of the times

Do that U.K. Jive

Do that U.K. Jive

U.K. O.K. U.K. O.K. gimme that U.K. Jive

(Repeat)

You gotta swing to the left, then back to the right

You gotta learn to swing both ways

When you're jiving in the U.K. O.K. U.K.

Mum's all annoyed dad forgot the inflation

He blew all his wages by half past nine

Now he's bought a gramophone on the never never

And the tally man's gotta have his money on time

But the kids are jumping round

And they're wearing out their leather

Driving all the neighbours out of their minds

Make a noise with boys and girls of the nation

That's the explanation of the U.K. Jive

Blow in my ear, I like the way you do that

And that's what I wanna hear

Is that a fact?

Are you jiving me?

Oh, you bad ***** cat

You'll make papa mad

Do that U.K. Jive

Do that U.K. Jive

U.K O.K. U.K. O.K.

Do that U.K. Jive

(Repeat)
