Your old shoes, and my old T - shirts,

We got the books, and the records, and the tapes, and the pictures,
Am/G Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
And the pots and the pans, and all the breakable glass,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
The living room couch, and the dining room table,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
The washer, and the dryer, what a pain in the ass!
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
We've got the TV, and the home enter - tainment... centre,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
The box spring, and the queen-size bed,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
We got the Christmas deco - rations, and the bureau, and the play - pen,
Am Am/E Am/G Am
IF WE HAD A PIANO, I THINK I'D DROP DEAD!
F G
Brrrrrrrrrrrr! Oh, yes, yes! Brrr, dah!

At the end of the day, the old place is empty,
Am/G Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
And the new place hous - es all of our stuff,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
Unpack all the crap in the cardboard boxes,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
It wasn't that bad, no, it wasn't so rough,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
But my strong buddies... look a little bit grumpy,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
I don't why----- I broke my butt,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
To - morrow we'll call up the telephone compan - y,
Am Am/E Am/G Am Am/E Am/G
And get another set of house keys cut!
