The Kinks

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
Dads got a crate of beer and its an open invitation
Hes ever-so elated and so are his mates.
Everybodys 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.
Dont 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 youre jiving in the U.K. O.K. U.K.
Mums all annoyed dad forgot the inflation
He blew all his wages by half past nine.
Now hes bought a gramophone on the never never
And the tally mans gotta have his money on time
But the kids are jumping round
And theyre wearing out their leather
Driving all the neighbours out of their minds
Make a noise with boys and girls of the nation
Thats the explanation of the U.K. Jive.
Blow in my ear, I like the way you do that.
And thats what I wanna hear.
Is that a fact?
Are you jiving me?
Oh, you bad pussy cat
Youll 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]
