That Boy Could Dance

A                       G7
We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek,
         D             G               A         D
He was a dumb-lookin', scrawny, little four-eyed freak.
A                      G7
He never used to hang around with the guys,
          D          G         A            D
He'd just sit in the corner, attractin' the flies.
   G              D           G              D
He wasn't much to look at, he never was very bright,
    G                                 D               F      G
but at least there was one thing that he could do all right:

N.C.           D      D7 D6 D   C   Cmaj7   G
That boy could dance.
     F         D      D7 D6 D   C   Cmaj7   G   F
That boy could dance.
       D                      F
He was kind of a jerk, he was kind of a bore,
        G                          Bb
but the women would scream when he walked in the door,
       A7
'cause one thing I could tell you for sure:
N.C.           D      D7 D6 D   G   F   D
That boy could dance.

A                       G7
Picking teams, he would always be last,
            D        G                A          D
He couldn't run very far, he couldn't think very fast.
A                             G7
If he was on your side, you'd always lose,
    D         G             A         D
The guy had a problem, even tying his shoes.
   G                D                   G                D
He never passed his drivers test he was always afraid of cars.
    G                        D                        F     G
and he had a complexion that resembled the surface of Mars.

                   D      D7 D6 D   C   Cmaj7   G   F
But that boy could dance.
     F         D            D7 D6 D   C   Cmaj7   G   F
That boy could dance, yeah.
          D                       F
Well, his hair was a mess and his clothes didn't fit,
   G                          Bb
He smelled pretty bad, and he drooled just a bit.
        A7
but you gotta admit:
N.C.                G      F   D
boy, that boy could dance.

A   G7   D   D

G A                                          G              D
    Now that boy is much older, he's got his own dance studio,
G A                                              G              D
    He's got a teeny bopper fan club, yeah, he's got his own TV show,
       G               A7             Bm           A    G
now he owns half of Montana, they all call him "Diamond Jim"
        C                       G                    F    A7
and you know I'd do anything if I could be just like him.

                      D      D7 D6 D   C   Cmaj7   G   F
