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
