#1.
Eb
When you got a new date for the dance at school,

and you want to dress, impress, and try to be cool.
Eb
But the man at the fancy French cleaner lied and 

your new suit isn't ready and you're fit to be tied.
Eb
And you show up at the dance in pants that hang and 
Bbm             Db
bag..ain't it a drag?

CHORUS:
          F#                Eb                  Ab
when everything's all going right there comes a snag.
          F#                   B                 Ab
when everything's aren't going precisely in your bag..
           Db
ain't it a drag?

#2.
Eb
So, you got a new apartment and you're debonair..you 

invite a chick to dinner and you take her there.
Eb
And the music and the candle and the lights are fine

and the steaks are in the oven and you're chilling 

the wine.
Eb
But then the doorbell rings, you're screaming mad..

who should come and visit but your mom and your dad.
Eb                                                   Bbm
so you cork up the wine, put the steaks in a plastic bag..
           Db
ain't it a drag?

CHORUS:
          F#                Eb                  Ab
when everything's all going right there comes a snag.
          F#                   B                 Ab
when everything's aren't going precisely in your bag..
