'Bout nearly twenty years ago I heard this thing called rock'n'roll It hit me right between the eyes It left me almost 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 display I left that 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
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 CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap) 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 CAN JIVE, 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 CAN JIVE
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 CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
