So Eddie ran off with the bass-man's wife

Oh, but he was back by June singin' a different tune

Chord diagramEb MajorEb                                  Chord diagramBb majorBb
And sporting Miss Rita back by his side

Now he sells insurance on the side

Chord diagramBb majorBb                                      Chord diagramBbsus2Bbsus2
And Rita's got her house to keep; she writes dime store novels of love so sweet

Chord diagramEb MajorEb                               Chord diagramBb majorBb
They dance to the radio late at night
