I CAN JIVE

'Bout nearly twenty years ago
I heard this thing called rock'n'roll
It hit me right between the eyes
It left me always paralyzed

I bought me records by the score
and even then I wanted more
I taught myself to reel and jive
I sure did get it organized

I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE;I CAN JIVE

I practised every single day
and soon to everyone's dismay
I left the mirror on the wall
and tried my luck at the town dance hall

Those chicks just couldn't believe their eyes
I'm sure I heard a million sighs
I must have danced with every girl
who needs'a diamond rings and pearls

I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE,I CAN JIVE
I CAN JIVE;I CAN JIVE
