[Intro — acoustic guitar, light drums] [Two-Step Caution — spoken] Alright, folks, we're gonna try something a little different tonight. Everybody find yourself a little room. Mind the corners, watch your neighbors, and let's shuffle. [Band kicks in] [Verse 1] Friday night and the doors are closed But there's still a little music in the rows Ain't got a dance hall, but that's alright We've got a storeroom and a Friday night Boxes stacked up along the wall Leave a little room and we'll use it all Slide on over, make a little space There's plenty of room if you know your place [Two-Step Caution — spoken] Four steps forward! Two steps back! Keep it easy! [Chorus] It's the storeroom shuffle, slide on through A little left and a little right too Shuffle past the boxes, turn around Keep that rhythm moving on the concrete ground Heel and toe, then step in time Everybody's moving and we're doing just fine It's the storeroom shuffle, don't lose your place Turn with your partner and give 'em some space [Verse 2] Shelves on the left and a wall on the right Somebody brought a radio for the night No fancy floor and no chandelier But we've got good music and everybody's here There's a stack in the corner, leave it alone That's somebody's work and it ain't our own Just mind your step and follow the beat We'll make this little storeroom feel complete [Two-Step Caution — spoken] Alright, partners! Step to the left! Step to the right! Turn it around! [Chorus] It's the storeroom shuffle, slide on through A little left and a little right too Shuffle past the boxes, turn around Keep that rhythm moving on the concrete ground Heel and toe, then step in time Everybody's moving and we're doing just fine It's the storeroom shuffle, don't lose your place Turn with your partner and give 'em some space [Instrumental Dance Break] [Two-Step Caution — spoken] Now we're gonna add a turn. Step forward. Turn your partner. Back to your place. Nice and easy. [Band answers with guitar riff] [Bridge] Maybe someday we'll find a bigger floor But tonight we don't need anything more A little country rhythm and a little room And we'll keep on dancing till the night is through [Dance Break — building] [Two-Step Caution — spoken] Everybody together! Four to the left! Four to the right! Turn it around! And back to the middle! [Final Chorus] It's the storeroom shuffle, slide on through A little left and a little right too Shuffle past the boxes, turn around Keep that rhythm moving on the concrete ground Heel and toe, then step in time Everybody's moving and we're doing just fine It's the storeroom shuffle, don't lose your place Turn with your partner and give 'em some space [Outro — band gradually relaxes] [Two-Step Caution — spoken] That's a good one, folks. Everybody made it through without knocking anything over. We'll call that a successful night. [Acoustic guitar and pedal steel fade]
