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
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 could tell you for sure That boy could dance
Picking 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 the 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
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's got his own dance studio He's got a teeny bopper fan club yeah, he's 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
