That Boy Could Dance
We all used to call him Jimmy the geek
He was a dumb looking, scrawny little four-eyed freak
He never used to hang around with the guys
He'd just sit in the corner
Attracting the flies
He wasn't much to look at
He never was very bright
But at least there was one thing that he could do alright
That boy could dance
That boy could dance, yeah
He was kind of a jerk
He was kind of a bore
But the women would scream when he walked in the door
There's one thing I can tell you for sure
That boy could dance
Pickin' teams, he would always be last
He couldn't run very far
He couldn't think very fast
If he was on your side, you'd always lose
That guy had a problem
Even tying his shoes
He never passed his drivers test
He was always afraid of cars
And he had a complexion
That resembled the surface of Mars
But that boy could dance
That boy could dance, yeah
Well, his hair was a mess
And his clothes didn't fit
He smelled pretty bad
And he drooled just a bit
But you gotta admit
Boy, that boy could dance
Now that boy is much older
He got his own dance studio
He got a teeny bopper fan club
Yeah, he got his own TV show
Now he owns half of Montanna
They all call him "Diamond Jim"
And you know I'd do anything if I could be just like him
'Cause that boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
(Now that boy could dance)
That boy could dance, dance
(Now that boy could dance)
That boy could dance
(Now that boy could dance)
That boy could dance, yeah
(Now that boy could dance)
I said that boy could dance
(Now that boy could dance)
That boy could dance, yeah
