The Kinks - Uk Jive lyrics
Your rating:
Another saturday night and everybody gets togetherThe pubs are turning out and all the streets are aliveBut the people wanna party so they come back to our houseEverybody gonna do the u.k jiveDad’s got a crate of beer and it’s an open invitationHe’s ever-so elated and so are his mates.Everybody’s welcome to bring all their dates homeTo 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 mindCelebrate and typify the sign of the times.Do that u.k. jiveDo that u.k. jiveU.k. o.k. u.k. o.k. gimme that u.k. jive(repeat)You gotta swing to the left, then back to the rightYou 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 inflationHe blew all his wages by half past nine.Now he’s bought a gramophone on the never neverAnd the tally man’s gotta have his money on timeBut the kids are jumping roundAnd they’re wearing out their leatherDriving all the neighbours out of their mindsMake a noise with boys and girls of the nationThat’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 pussy catYou’ll make papa mad.Do that u.k. jiveDo that u.k. jiveU.k o.k. u.k. o.k.Do that u.k. jive(repeat)
