The song on surface level seems to be a tale about a man talking about a woman he knows who is very good at dancing, singing,and in general very nice. but in the music video we are hinted that this man is obsessed with her and almost stalking her.
[Verse 1]
I'm not much of a natural dancer
But I've got a friend who's a natural dancer
You could call her a jumping bean
She's got ants in her pants, and she's gonna dance
I know a girl who's a jumping bean
She's got keys and a token when she hits the scene
Yeah, I got a friend who's got a record machine
She acts like David Lee Roth when he turned 21
[Pre-Chorus]
I know a girl who's a natural dancer
With a cape and a hat, she's a natural dancer
She coughs, and she laughs, and she makes a lot of calls
And all of the people applaud
[Chorus]
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (Damn good times)
All of the people applaud (Damn good times)
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (Damn good times)
All of the people applaud (Damn good times)
[Verse 2]
Can she do the karaoke? Yes, she can, but she won't
'Cause she's highly qualified, and she's not a joke
When it comes to opera, she is ossified
So all of you operas better step aside
When my friend got amnesia
She can't remember the show she saw
Like the one with the guy with amnesia
Who got off of the island on a helicopter
[Pre-Chorus]
I know a girl who's a natural dancer
With a cape and a hat, she's a natural dancer
She coughs, and she laughs, and she makes a lot of calls
And all of the people applaud
[Chorus]
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (Damn good times)
All of the people applaud (Damn good times)
As she leaves the store
As she leaves the store (Damn good times)
All of the people applaud (Damn good times)
[Instrumental]
