Ray Davies - UK Jive lyrics

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 p**y 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)
