Yeah, the song is not bad in parts, but the footage lacks. If you don't reshoot you could do a few things to jazz it up, but again, as somebody else said, he might think it's great. Especially if it's his first video.
Things you could do to jazz it up:
Quick editing - make the solo shots of him continually change - maybe different angles.
24 framing - like they do on the show, "24" - you could have several diff. small shots of different things all on the screen at one time and can interchange with 2 shots or 3 or even 4, all with different color grading. Example, have one B&W, one shot a high saturated color and etc.
Stock footage - if you have some stock footage, you could incorporate that in video to kind of upgrade it, in a sense.
In the end, if you're doing it for the money, let them know that they get what they pay for. I know your horror though of having to put your name on something that you feel is less than perfect.
