AG7
We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek,
DGAD
He was a dumb-lookin', scrawny, little four-eyed freak.
AG7
He never used to hang around with the guys,
DGAD
He'd just sit in the corner, attractin' the flies.
GDGD
He wasn't much to look at, he never was very bright,
GDFG
but at least there was one thing that he could do all right:
[Chorus 1]
N.C. D D7 D6 D C Cmaj7 G
That boy could dance.
FDD7D6DCCmaj7GF
That boy could dance.
DF
He was kind of a jerk, he was kind of a bore,
GBb
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.
[Verse 2]
AG7
Picking teams, he would always be last,
DGAD
He couldn't run very far, he couldn't think very fast.
AG7
If he was on your side, you'd always lose,
DGAD
The guy had a problem, even tying his shoes.
GDGD
He never passed his drivers test he was always afraid of cars.
GDFG
and he had a complexion that resembled the surface of Mars.
[Chorus 2]
DD7D6DCCmaj7GF
But that boy could dance.
FDD7D6DCCmaj7GF
That boy could dance, yeah.
DF
Well, his hair was a mess and his clothes didn't fit,
GBb
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.
[Solo]
AG7DDAG7DDGADGGADD
[Bridge]
GAGD
Now that boy is much older, he's got his own dance studio,
GAGD
He's got a teeny bopper fan club, yeah, he's got his own TV show,
GA7BmAG
now he owns half of Montana, they all call him "Diamond Jim"
CGFA7
and you know I'd do anything if I could be just like him.
[Outro Chorus]
DD7D6DCCmaj7GF
'Cause that boy could dance.
FDD7D6DCCmaj7G
That boy could dance.
FDD7D6DCCmaj7G
That boy could dance. (That boy could dance.)
FDD7D6DCCmaj7G
That boy could dance. (That boy could dance.)
FDD7D6DCCmaj7G
That boy could dance. (That boy could dance.)
FDD7D6DCCmaj7G

FDD7D6DCCmaj7G

FDD7D6DCCmaj7G

FDD7D6DCCmaj7G
That boy could dance. (That boy could dance.)
