[Intro]
A
[Verse]
'Bout nearly twenty years Aago
I heard this thing called rock'n'Droll
It hit me right between the Eeyes
It left me almost paraAlyzed
I bought me records by the Ascore
And even then I wanted Dmore
I taught myself to reel and Ejive
I sure did get it orgaAnized
[Chorus]
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN DJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN EJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE
[Verse]
I practised every single Aday
And soon to everyone's disDmay
I left that mirror on the Ewall
And tried my luck at the town dance Ahall
Those chicks just couldn't believe their Aeyes
I'm sure I heard a million Dsighs
I must have danced with every Egirl
Who needs'a diamond rings and Apearls
[Chorus] x2
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN DJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN EJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE
[Clap part]
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN DJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN EJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN DJIVE (hand clap)
I CAN JIVE, I CAN EJIVE (hand clap)
[Chorus] x4
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN DJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN EJIVE
I CAN JIVE, I CAN AJIVE

[Intro]

[Verse]

'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

[Chorus]

I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE

[Verse]

I practised every single day

And soon to everyone's dismay

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

[Chorus] x2

I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE

[Clap part]

I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE (hand clap)

[Chorus] x4

I CAN JIVE, I CAN JIVE
