I Can Jive Songtext

von Jerry Williams

'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
