This here’s the soft shoulder shuffle, I do it all the time
The rags I wear may be old, but they’re looking mighty fine
Button down collar with a button in back, when the ladies pass by
They know I’ve really got the knack
Strides pressed and clean and barely touchin’ my shoes
With that Ivy League Look you know you just can’t lose
Herringbone tweed with a 3/2 roll
Come along baby now let’s take a little stroll
If it’s cool outside don’t you worry one bit
Just take my mohair sweater and cuddle up in it
All the cats on the street know there ain’t no other way
Gather round boys, here’s what I have to say
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
(3-2 roll)
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
(It’s good for the soul)
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
Oh yeah
You do the soft shoulder shuffle
(Come on now)
You learn the soft shoulder shuffle and you always be feeling fine
Now all you sloppy dressing silly lookin’ men
Take a lesson from me, ‘cuz I’ll say it once again
You need a flannel suit and a slim knit tie
A hopsack blazer and now you’re really gettin’ by
It’s a stubborn look, just won’t go out of style
If you follow my advice, it’s sure to make you smile
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
(Soft shoulder shuffle)
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
Oh yeah
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
(Herringbone tweed)
Do the soft shoulder shuffle
(All that you need)
You do the soft shoulder shuffle and you always be feelin’ fine
