do the couple shuffle. The couple

brings trouble.

E "You're better than Mary. Let's tell them, 'So long.'

brought trouble.

Bridge:
A E Do you suppose when Jimmy found out he was happy with that?
A E B Donnie was his best friend but
he grabbed a bat.
E He caught Mary at Donnie's. Jane
was also there.
E John then burst through the door growling like a bear.
A E They
did the couple shuffle. The
couple shuffle.
B A But the couple shuffle became
a kerfuffle.

E The moral to the story, the
lesson of this song:
E if you’ve got someone to love it's best to get along.
A E Don't do the
couple shuffle. Avoid the couple
shuffle
B A ‘cause the couple shuffle only
brings
B A ‘cause the couple shuffle only
brings
B A ‘cause the couple shuffle only
brings trouble.
