Country Jive Lyrics

"Y'all side step now! Ready 4 3 2 1"

It's the country jive 4 3 2 1
Y'all feel alive 4 3 2 1
It's a lot of fun 4 3 2 1
Son of a gun 4 3 2 1
4 3 2 1, 4 3 2 1

"Y'all heel dig now! Ready 4 3 2 1"

Thumbs in your braces 4 3 2 1
Do up your laces 4 3 2 1
Fit as a fiddle 4 3 2 1
Now don't giggle 4 3 2 1
4 3 2 1, 4 3 2 1

"Y'all lasso now! Ready 4 3 2 1"

Right hand round 4 3 2 1
Left hand round 4 3 2 1
At the rodeo 4 3 2 1
Way to go 4 3 2 1
4 3 2 1, 4 3 2 1

"Y'all do it again!"

Repeat

"See y'all later!"
