Here are the lyrics to That Boy Could Dance:

 

We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek
He was a dumb lookin' scrawny little four-eyed freak
He never used to hang around with the guys
He'd just sit in the corner attractin' 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 all right

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
'Cause 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 tyin' his shoes

He never passed a driver's 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'd smell pretty bad, and he'd drool just a bit
But you got to 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 Montana
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
That boy could dance
That boy could dance, dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance, yeah
That boy could dance
I said, I said that boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance, dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
That boy could dance
